Overview
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. It is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite primarily during the day. The WHO estimates 100–400 million dengue infections occur each year, making it one of the most common mosquito-borne diseases globally. Dengue vaccine availability in the UK is evolving. At Holborn Clinic, we stock the latest approved options and will assess your eligibility based on your infection history and travel plans. Regardless of vaccination status, mosquito bite prevention (DEET-based repellent, long clothing, air-conditioned accommodation) remains the primary defence against dengue.
