PETALING JAYA: Dengue could soon be a thing of the past. A dengue vaccine is as good as ready.
After over 20 years of intensive research, a French pharmaceutical company has announced that its dengue vaccine can reduce dengue haemorrhagic fever cases by 88.5%.
The vaccine is also said to be able to decrease the risk of hospitalisation due to dengue by two-thirds.
