Abstract
The objective of this manuscript was to review and evaluate the efficacy and safety data of Dengvaxia for the treatment of severe secondary dengue infection. Dengvaxia is the brand name for chimeric yellow fever-dengue-tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV). A literature search through PubMed was conducted using the keywords ‘dengue vaccine’, ‘Dengvaxia’, ‘efficacy’ or ‘safety’. Trials were selected if they appropriately assessed vaccine efficacy or were related to the vaccine approval process for CYD-TDV. Findings from this review underline the evolution of vaccine efficacy against seroprevalence, serotypes, and various ages. There are currently no preventive measures or antiviral treatments for dengue; CYD-TDV is the first vaccine to receive US Food and Drug Administration approval. Protective responses seen with the complete administration of CYD-TDV can become a standardized tool as part of a world vaccination program.
