Dengue is rising in – here’s why you should take the dengue vaccine now
Dengue fever is making a strong comeback across Selangor, especially in Sepang, Kota Warisan, Cyberjaya, and Dengkil. With the Aedes mosquito breeding in even the smallest pools of clean water, fogging alone is no longer enough. Despite public efforts, many families continue to be affected each year—some with severe complications.
Dengue isn’t just a fever. It causes extreme fatigue, joint pain, vomiting, and in some cases, internal bleeding or even death. Worse still, getting dengue a second time increases your risk of severe illness. This is especially dangerous for children and the elderly.
That’s why the dengue vaccine (Qdenga) is a game-changer. Recently approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH), Qdenga helps build immunity against all four types of dengue virus (DEN-1 to DEN-4). It trains your immune system to recognize and fight off dengue before it becomes severe, reducing your risk of hospitalization and long-term effects.
