Dengue Vaccine in Bali 2025: Who Qualifies & How to Book
Understanding Dengue in Bali
Bali’s tropical climate and bustling tourism make it a hotspot for dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection that affects thousands every year. Dengue can trigger severe flu-like symptoms, and in rare cases, life-threatening complications. With the increasing incidence of dengue across Southeast Asia, including Bali, prevention and early intervention are crucial.
Why Consider the Dengue Vaccine?
The dengue vaccine, known globally as Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV), is the first approved vaccine to help protect against all four dengue virus serotypes. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Indonesian health authorities recommend vaccination as part of an integrated approach to dengue prevention, alongside mosquito control and personal protection.
Who Qualifies for the Dengue Vaccine in Bali (2025)?
Eligibility Criteria
• Age Range: The dengue vaccine is currently recommended for individuals aged 6 to 45 years. Some international guidelines approve up to age 60, but local regulations may differ. Always verify with your healthcare provider.
• Previous Dengue Infection: The vaccine is primarily recommended for individuals who have had at least one laboratory-confirmed dengue infection in the past. This is due to a higher risk of severe dengue in vaccine recipients who have never been previously infected.
• Residency or Prolonged Stay: Residents, expatriates, and long-term visitors in Bali who will spend extended periods in endemic areas are encouraged to consider vaccination.
• Medical Assessment: A pre-vaccination screening, often involving a blood test, is necessary to confirm prior dengue infection before administration.
Who Should Not Receive the Vaccine?
• Children under 6 years (or age as specified by local guidelines)
• Individuals without prior dengue infection (confirmed by blood test)
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women (unless specifically recommended by a doctor)
• People with weakened immune systems or certain chronic health conditions
The Importance of Pre-Vaccination Testing
Because the dengue vaccine can increase the risk of severe dengue in people who have never been infected, proper pre-vaccination testing is essential. Trishnanda Care Centre offers in-villa dengue NS1 and CBC lab tests to confirm your dengue status as part of the vaccine eligibility process.

Benefits and Limitations of the Dengue Vaccine
Effectiveness
According to the World Health Organization and medical literature, the dengue vaccine offers moderate protection—about 80% efficacy against hospitalization and severe dengue in those with previous infection. The vaccine is administered as a three-dose series, spaced six months apart.
Limitations
• No Absolute Immunity: Vaccination does not guarantee full protection. Continue using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and practicing mosquito control.
• Not Suitable for Everyone: As outlined above, the dengue vaccine is not appropriate for individuals without laboratory evidence of prior infection.
• Multiple Doses Required: Full protection requires completion of the three-dose series.
