Dengue is a viral infection. If an infected mosquito bites us, we can fall prey to it. The disease is common in hot and humid areas. This disease is more likely to occur during the rainy season. The disease is transmitted to humans by mosquito bites and does not spread directly from human to human. However, this problem can spread from the pregnant woman to the baby. In rare cases, dengue can also spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, etc. Dengue is a serious disease that often leads to death. But it is now believed that the problem of dengue can be relieved. A dengue vaccine has been developed, and human trials have begun. Get all the details about it.
According to the National Centre for Vector Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC), dengue is a fast-emerging, transmissible, and mosquito-borne viral fever. As soon as the rainy season comes, there is a constant increase in the cases of dengue all over the country, and every year many people even lose their lives due to it. But now there is going to be relief from this disease because the trial of the dengue vaccine has started in our country.
The vaccine has been developed by ICMR and Panacea Biotec. The third phase of human trials has already begun. It started on September 27. 19 centers have been selected across the country for this vaccine, in which more than 10 thousand people will be given this dengue vaccine. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi is one of them. In this trial, 70 percent of the people are in the age group of 18 to 45 years, and 30 percent are above 45 years. Doctors say that those who will be given the vaccine right now will be kept under observation for two years. This vaccine is effective for all types of dengue strains, hence the name dengue all vaccine. Hopefully, in the coming time, we will get rid of a dangerous disease like dengue.
The trial of the dengue vaccine has started, which is good news. But the best way to prevent dengue is to avoid mosquitoes. A few ways to do this are:
* Use repellents.
* Wear long-sleeve shirts and long pants whenever you go out.
* Make sure that there are no holes in your windows and doors.
* Use the mosquito net.
* Keep your surroundings clean, and don’t let water stagnate.
* If you have any symptoms of dengue, consult a doctor immediately.
