This vaccine is used to prevent dengue in people 6 through 16 years old who have had dengue in the past and live in areas with a risk of dengue.

Like any vaccine, the dengue vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.

You should not use dengue vaccine if you are allergic to it, or if you have a weak immune system (caused by disease or by using certain medicines).

Tell your doctor if:

• you have a weak immune system (caused by disease or by using certain medicines); or
• you have never been infected with dengue before.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Having dengue during pregnancy may increase the risk of premature birth. The benefit of receiving dengue vaccine may outweigh any risks to the baby.

If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry to track the effects of dengue vaccine on the baby.

Ask a doctor if it is safe to breastfeed while using this vaccine.

Use Dengue Vaccine (Subcutaneous) exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Call your doctor at once if you have:

• signs and symptoms of dengue--high fever, severe stomach pain or tenderness, vomiting, bleeding gums, drowsiness, or hyperactivity.

Common side effects may include:

• pain, redness, swelling, or itching where the vaccine was injected;
• headache;
• not feeling well; or
• weakness.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report vaccine side effects to the US Department of Health and Human Services at 1-800-822-7967.

Avoid mosquito bites. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions.
