Why is there vaccine for dengue?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There is no vaccine: No vaccine has been developed for this illness which is caused by a flavivirus with several different serotypes. Recovery from infection with one serotype does not produce any lasting immunity and one can get repeat infections in the same season.
