Statement of Need

Currently, there is only one FDA-approved vaccination against dengue disease available, and there are specific requirements and limitations on who can access and benefit from this vaccine. Most notably, the vaccine is only available to children aged 9-16 in endemic areas who also have laboratory-confirmed previous dengue infection. While the currently available vaccination against dengue disease has limited scope and application, there are several dengue vaccine candidates in clinical trials. It is imperative that clinicians practicing in endemic areas as well as areas with newer local outbreaks understand how the management, treatment, and prevention of dengue disease will change as new vaccinations are approved.

In the final activity of this CME Outfitters Snack, expert faculty will provide an overview of the latest efficacy and safety data for both current and emerging vaccinations against dengue disease as well as assist learners in the translation of this data into clinical practice.

Learning Objective

Incorporate latest efficacy and safety data of current and emerging dengue disease vaccination options into clinical practice.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.

Target Audience

Physicians, physician associates (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurses, and pharmacists specializing in travel medicine, public health, infectious disease, or primary care.
