What Is Dengue Fever?

Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus and spreads mainly through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes.

There are four dengue virus serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4.

Dengue is found in many tropical and subtropical countries, including Thailand.

Some people experience mild symptoms, while others develop more serious illness requiring medical care.

Common Dengue Symptoms

  • Sudden fever.
  • Headache.
  • Pain behind the eyes.
  • Muscle and joint pain.
  • Nausea or vomiting.
  • Skin rash.
  • Fatigue.

Severe dengue can cause bleeding, shock and other serious complications.

Seek urgent medical attention if symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding, unusual drowsiness or breathing difficulties develop.

What Is the Qdenga Dengue Vaccine?

Qdenga (TAK-003) is a live-attenuated dengue vaccine developed to help protect against dengue disease.

It contains weakened forms of dengue viruses designed to stimulate an immune response without causing dengue infection in people with normal immune function.

The vaccine is designed to address the four dengue virus serotypes, although the degree of protection varies depending on factors including the serotype, age and previous dengue exposure.

Qdenga does not guarantee complete protection against dengue infection or severe dengue.

Dengue Vaccine Price in Bangkok: How Much Is Qdenga?

MedEx currently lists the following Qdenga vaccination package:

Package Details MedEx Offering
Vaccine Qdenga (TAK-003)
Number of doses 2 injections
Interval 3 months
Complete course price ฿6,499

The published MedEx price refers to the full two-dose Qdenga course. Confirm stock, package inclusions, eligibility and any separately required medical services before booking.

Qdenga Vaccine Schedule: How Many Doses Are Needed?

Qdenga is administered as a two-dose vaccination course.

Dose Schedule Details
First dose Month 0 Starts the vaccine series
Second dose Month 3 Completes the standard two-dose course

The second injection is normally given three months after the first.

The need for an additional booster dose has not been established. Your healthcare provider can advise if future guidance changes.

Who Is Eligible for the Qdenga Vaccine in Thailand?

Qdenga is registered and used in Thailand for certain children and adults, with local vaccination services commonly identifying an age range of 4–60 years.

However, being within the registered age range does not automatically mean vaccination is recommended for every person.

The World Health Organization recommends Qdenga primarily for children aged 6–16 years in settings with high dengue transmission intensity.

For adults, travellers and people outside that specific recommendation, vaccination decisions require an individual clinical risk-benefit assessment in accordance with applicable local guidance.

Factors a doctor may consider include:

  • Age and overall health.
  • Previous dengue infection history.
  • Likelihood of future dengue exposure.
  • Immune system conditions.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Current medications and relevant medical conditions.

Important: A doctor’s assessment should establish whether Qdenga is an appropriate option for you.

Can You Get Qdenga If You Have Already Had Dengue?

Previous dengue infection is an important factor in vaccination decisions.

Qdenga may be considered for certain people who have previously had dengue, subject to local recommendations and clinical assessment.

The benefits and uncertainties of vaccination can differ between people who have and have not previously been infected.

Unlike the older Dengvaxia vaccine, Qdenga does not have a universal requirement for proof of prior dengue infection before administration under its product indication. However, that does not mean vaccination is appropriate for everyone regardless of previous infection history.

If you previously had dengue, tell your doctor when the infection occurred and whether it was laboratory-confirmed.

Who Should Not Receive Qdenga?

Qdenga is a live-attenuated vaccine and is not appropriate for certain people.

It should not be given to:

  • Pregnant women.
  • Breastfeeding women.
  • People with certain immune deficiencies.
  • People receiving significant immunosuppressive treatment.
  • People with symptomatic HIV infection or HIV-associated impaired immune function.
  • People with a history of severe allergic reaction to Qdenga or its components.

People planning pregnancy should discuss timing with their doctor. Pregnancy should be avoided for at least one month following Qdenga vaccination.

Other conditions may require postponement or additional assessment. Always provide a complete medical history before vaccination.

Qdenga Vaccine Side Effects

Like other vaccines, Qdenga can cause temporary side effects.

Commonly reported reactions include:

  • Pain or redness at the injection site.
  • Headache.
  • Muscle aches.
  • Fatigue.
  • Mild fever.
  • General discomfort.

These symptoms are usually temporary. Rare serious allergic reactions are possible, so vaccination should take place in an appropriate healthcare setting.

Contact a healthcare professional if symptoms are persistent or concerning. Seek emergency care for signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Is the Dengue Vaccine Recommended for Expats and Travellers in Bangkok?

People living in or travelling to Thailand may face dengue exposure, especially in areas with mosquito activity.

However, Qdenga is not automatically recommended for every tourist or expatriate.

For travellers, medical advice depends on previous dengue infection, age, destination, duration of stay and the latest vaccination guidance.

A complete Qdenga schedule also requires three months between injections, which is important for people planning short trips.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before arranging vaccination solely for travel.

Do You Still Need Mosquito Protection After Qdenga Vaccination?

Yes. Vaccination does not replace mosquito bite prevention.

Regardless of vaccination status, appropriate dengue prevention includes:

  • Using mosquito repellent as directed.
  • Wearing long-sleeved clothing when appropriate.
  • Using window screens and other physical barriers.
  • Removing stagnant water where mosquitoes breed.
  • Seeking medical care if dengue symptoms develop.

People who are vaccinated can still become infected with dengue.

MedEx currently lists the full two-dose Qdenga vaccination course for ฿6,499. Contact MedEx to confirm the latest price and availability.

How many Qdenga injections are needed?

The standard schedule consists of two injections given three months apart.

Can adults get the dengue vaccine in Thailand?

Qdenga is used in Thailand for certain adults within its approved age range, but individual eligibility and recommendations depend on medical history and applicable guidance. A doctor should assess whether vaccination is appropriate.

Do I need a blood test before receiving Qdenga?

Proof of previous dengue infection is not universally required by Qdenga’s product indication. However, previous infection status matters when assessing benefits and risks, and your clinician may recommend testing or a different preventive approach.

Can I get Qdenga if I have never had dengue?

Not having had dengue previously does not automatically exclude someone from the product’s approved indication. However, there are important differences in evidence and recommendations for dengue-naive individuals. A doctor should assess the expected benefits and risks before vaccination.

Does Qdenga protect against all four dengue serotypes?

Qdenga is designed to generate immune responses against all four dengue virus serotypes, but protection varies and is not guaranteed against every serotype or infection.

Can pregnant women receive Qdenga?

No. Qdenga is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Is Qdenga a treatment for dengue fever?

No. Qdenga is a preventive vaccine, not a treatment for someone who currently has dengue.
