Activity Title: Dengue Vaccines: Directions for the Future
Release Date: December 8, 2022
Estimated Time to Complete Activity: 70 minutes
Statement of Need:
According to the WHO, the incidence of dengue has increased considerably in recent decades. Dengue is now endemic in more than 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. Asia bears about 70% of the global burden of dengue. There is no specific treatment for dengue. So far, only one dengue vaccine CYD-TDV has been licensed for use. It is currently in use in about 20 countries globally. There are several candidate vaccines in different stages of development, some are currently in various stages of Clinical Trials. Several challenges have been faced in the development of vaccines, some of which include the nature of the virus itself, which has four serotypes, and the immune response to the vaccine.
Faculty: Anon Srikiatkhachorn (Thailand) and Cristina Barroso Hofer (Brazil)
