Dengue Fever Vaccine
"Every year, 50 to 100 million people around the world contract the dengue virus, which is transmitted through mosquitoes and can be deadly. The first vaccine for the virus, under development for 20 years, showed very promising test results in human clinical trials this year and is expected to be submitted for regulatory approval in 2015. The Cleveland Clinic is betting that by the end of the year, we’ll see the vaccine in doctor’s hands." (Fast Company, 2015)
"The World Health Organization reports that about half of the world's population is now at risk for dengue fever, which up until now was preventable only by avoiding mosquito bites. The disease is a leading cause of death and illness in children in some countries. A new vaccine has been developed and tested, and is expected to be available in 2015." (CNN, 2014)
