Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio Vaccine FAQs

We can confirm and administer any vaccinations you may need, as well as assessing their impact on any pre-existing medical conditions. We administer all required or recommended vaccinations from our Travel Clinic at Priory Business Park, Bedford.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the dengue virus, which belongs to the Flaviviridae family.

The virus is primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. 

Dengue fever is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including parts of Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Africa. 

Smarta Healthcare offers Qdenga® dengue fever vaccinations for patients in and around Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton, Letchworth, Biggleswade, St Neots, Cambridge, Sandy, Hitchin and Huntingdon, or further afield. 

Vaccinations are administered at our convenient out-of-town clinic with free parking.

The dengue fever vaccination costs £110 per dose. 2 doses usually over 3 months are required for full protection.

Discounts are available for students and family/group bookings. 

If you have any questions about required or recommended travel vaccinations, book an AskMyPharmacist travel health consultation as soon as you can to ensure you achieve the full level of protection from any disease risks.

Ideally 3 to 6 months in advance would be best, however we understand that sometimes last-minute arrangements mean that time doesn't always allow for this. 

Book a consultation as soon as you can to speak to our expert travel health specialist to find out more about your specific requirements.   

The Qdenga® dengue fever vaccine is administered in two doses, with a 3-month interval between them, but even for last-minute travellers, it is not too late to receive the vaccine.  

 

A single dose of the Qdenga® vaccine offers around 81% protection against all Dengue virus serotypes until the second dose is administered.

The second dose of Qdenga ® provides a high level of protection, approximately 95%, from 30 days to 12 months after vaccination. 

 

Vaccination is a very important preventive measure against dengue fever.

Avoid getting bitten by insects as much as possible:  

  1. Wear loose clothing with long sleeves and trousers wherever possible. 
  2. Use a good quality insect repellent on any exposed skin during the day and especially at night, and make sure you apply it regularly. Apply it after sunscreen, if you're using the two together.
  3. Mosquito nets with insecticide can be used to protect you while you are sleeping.

Common symptoms of dengue fever include sudden onset of high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash.

In severe cases, dengue fever can progress to dengue haemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, which can be life-threatening. 

If you develop any of these symptoms during or after your travel, it's important to let your healthcare professional know where you have travelled. 

At Smarta Healthcare, we’ve created an entire health clinic. Helping our patients get the care they need, when it matters most.
