Adverse Event Management after Dengue Vaccination

Adverse events management after dengue vaccination is critical for ensuring patient safety, maintaining public trust, and compliance with global health regulations.

Dengue vaccines, like other vaccines, may cause side effects. Identifying and managing these adverse events effectively helps monitor vaccine safety, ensure risk-benefit balance established in clinical trials, and mitigate potential harm, especially in individuals with prior exposure to dengue where vaccination-associated risks could differ. Proper reporting also supports continuous improvement of vaccination programs.

Dengue vaccine adverse events (AEs) vary by individual health status and prior dengue exposure. AEs are also likely to vary by vaccine due to each candidate’s unique profile. Reported AEs include but are not limited to:

  • Mild to Moderate Reactions: Fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infections and injection site reactions.
  • Moderate to Severe Reactions: Allergic reactions, rash, or joint pain.
  • Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Rare but may include severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis

Monitoring and addressing these events are vital for proper vaccine administration.
