What Is Dengue Fever?
7. Prevention
A vaccine is available for dengue fever, but it is not particularly effective, and it is not recommended for children under 9 years old. However, there are other steps people can take to help ensure they keep themselves as safe as possible from the disease.
One way to help keep safe from dengue fever is to try and wear long, loose clothing to help prevent bites. It is also a good idea to try and avoid being outside at dusk and dawn, which is when the mosquitos responsible are at their most active. You should also use insect repellent, and you should also use a mosquito net if you are getting bitten while sleeping.
