Dengue Fever and Travel: What You Need to Know
Dengue Fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, which are active during the day. It’s common in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Asia, South America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Symptoms can include high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, skin rash, and in some cases, it can lead to severe complications such as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever or Dengue Shock Syndrome.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for Dengue, making prevention through vaccination and mosquito protection essential—especially for travelers visiting high-risk destinations.
The dengue vaccine (such as QDENGA, where available) is recommended for:
-
Travelers heading to endemic areas for two weeks or longer, especially during peak mosquito season.
-
Individuals with a previous history of Dengue infection who are at risk of severe reinfection.
-
Humanitarian workers or healthcare professionals traveling to regions with ongoing Dengue outbreaks.
-
Families or long-term travelers planning extended stays in high-risk areas.

They also gave me a teddy to hold onto as I am scared of vaccines.
Would definitely recommend here for any travel vaccinations, and I’ll definitely be back if I need any more. Thank you guys!
Thorough assessment of travel needs, vaccines required and importance of each one of them for your health. Also indicated potential risks of regions you travel to. Definitely recommend to go there.
My young daughter was naturally afraid of needles and he gave me time to take care of her needs before doing the shots.
Easily a better experience than most doctor's offices in general! If I lived closer this would easily be my go to pharmacy!
He also provided all the information and administered the vaccines that I required in a professional and kind manner.
Would highly recommend this walk in clinic!
Incredibly professional and friendly the whole time, and definitely worth taking a trip for.
Kumail seemed to know everyone by name, adding a personal touch to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone needing travel health advice or vaccinations!
I got vaccinated for my trip before returning to Japan. If you are thinking the same way, I highly recommend using it!
The pharmacist, Kumail, is very professional and incredibly welcoming. He took the time to thoroughly review my medical history and expertly guided me through the recommended vaccines, even providing valuable insights on border requirements from trusted sources.
The clinic itself was very clean and well-organized. I was particularly impressed with their direct billing option and the quick confirmation of my vaccine coverage, which is definitely a rarity with vaccine appointments. With reasonable prices and top-notch service, this clinic truly stands out. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of travel health services!
I know there are many options in this area, but if you want somebody who knows what they’re doing and actually cares about doing a good job (and is a kind human), go here.
