Dengue fever, or commonly known as DBD, is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by the dengue virus. In Indonesia, dengue fever has been a major public health concern for many years, with thousands of cases reported annually.
One of the most effective ways to prevent dengue fever is through vaccination. The dengue vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the virus, thus providing protection against the disease. However, in order for the vaccine to be effective, the recommended dosage must be adhered to.
The dengue vaccine is typically administered in two doses, with the second dose given 6 months after the first dose. It is important for individuals to complete the full course of vaccination to ensure maximum protection against dengue fever. Failure to complete the full dosage may result in reduced immunity and increased risk of contracting the disease.
In Indonesia, efforts are being made to increase the coverage of dengue vaccination among the population. Health authorities are working to raise awareness about the importance of vaccination and to make the vaccine more accessible to those at risk of dengue fever.
By ensuring that the recommended dosage of the dengue vaccine is met, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of contracting dengue fever and contribute to the overall prevention of the disease. It is important for everyone to play their part in protecting themselves and their communities from the threat of dengue fever. Let us all do our part to ensure that we have a strong and effective immunity against DBD.
