Are you planning to travel to a tropical destination? Concerned about the rising cases of dengue fever in your area? Fairview Pharmacy is excited to introduce a new service to help you stay safe and protected: the dengue fever vaccine!
What is Dengue Fever?
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted through mosquito bites, most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. With symptoms like high fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, and skin rashes, dengue fever can be a serious illness, especially for those who have not previously been exposed. In some cases, it can lead to severe complications, making prevention essential.
Why Get Vaccinated Against Dengue Fever?
The dengue fever vaccine (Qdenga) is an effective way to protect yourself from the virus, particularly if you live in or plan to visit areas where dengue is prevalent. The vaccine helps reduce the risk of severe infection, protecting not only your health but also reducing the risk of spreading the virus to others in the community.
At Fairview Pharmacy, we understand the importance of convenient and accessible healthcare services. That’s why we’re offering the dengue fever vaccine as part of our commitment to keeping our community safe and well-prepared.
Who Should Consider the Dengue Vaccine?
The dengue fever vaccine is recommended for:
- Travellers heading to regions with high rates of dengue transmission
- Residents in areas with frequent outbreaks of dengue
If you’re unsure whether the vaccine is right for you, our knowledgeable pharmacists are here to help. We provide consultations to answer any questions you may have and guide you in making an informed decision.
