GÁNH NẶNG VÀ DỰ PHÒNG SỐT XUẤT HUYẾT DENGUE Ở VIỆT NAM: ĐÁNH GIÁ VÀ Ý KIẾN CỦA CHUYÊN GIA

Abstract

Dengue is an infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus, transmitted from an infected person to a healthy individual through mosquito bites. In Vietnam, the disease occurs year-round, typically increasing during the rainy season, affecting both children and adults. Dengue can progress acutely, causing shock,
coagulation disorders, organs failure, life-threatening complications, and death.
In recent years, the outbreak of the disease has shown increasingly complex patterns both globally and in Vietnam. The number of recorded cases remains very high each year and continues to rise, with a significant number of cases going unreported. The epidemic cycle of Dengue outbreaks has changed due
to various factors, including the impact of climate change, urbanization, rising average temperatures, and increased domestic and international travel.
The Dengue vaccine - TAK-003 has been proven effective and safe through research that meets the standards of the World Health Organization. In Vietnam, this vaccine has been approved and is indicated for individuals aged 4 years and older.
Experts from the Vietnam Infectious Diseases Association have consensus on the burden of Dengue in Vietnam, the complexity of its epidemiology, and its increasing trend. The association recommends proactive prevention through Dengue vaccination (TAK-003) for individuals aged 4 years and older, without
requiring prior infection screening. They emphasize the importance of ensuring safe implementation while continuing to update and supplement data on the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of the TAK-003 vaccine worldwide.
