Prevention

Although there is a commercially available vaccine against dengue, prevention is still the most important step to reduce the risk of dengue infection. There are several ways of prevention:

  Mosquito control by either larval control and adult mosquito control.
  Reduce mosquito bites, especially during daylight hours.
