Dengue virus is the most common mosquito-spread virus globally, but generally relatively rare in the continental United States. However, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned this week about a higher-than-expected number of dengue cases among U.S. travelers — 745 cases through June 24 — as well as a public health emergency in Puerto Rico, where the virus is endemic.
Dengue vaccine and treatmentThe US Food and Drug Administration approved a vaccine for dengue in 2019 and the CDC recommends it to children ages 9 to 16 who have laboratory-confirmed evidence of a dengue infection and who live in areas of the United States where dengue is endemic or regularly occurring. The vaccine requires three doses, given six months apart.However, Sanofi-Pasteur said it will stop manufacturing the vaccine, Dengvaxia, due to a lack of demand in the global market.
