Introduction: Dengue virus is a global health threat, with approximately 390 million dengue infections annually. Efficient vaccines for dengue prevention are currently lacking. This review aims to summarize the current progress in dengue vaccine development. Area covered: This article discusses recent dengue vaccine developments based on the published literature and ClinicalTrials.gov website up to December 2020. Expert opinion: The first live-attenuated chimeric yellow-fever/tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV), Dengvaxia, has been licensed in several countries. However, the low efficacy of this vaccine was observed in children and dengue-naïve individuals. It also increased the risk of severe dengue in people who had not been exposed to dengue. The heterologous prime-boost regimen of sequential immunization with DENVax and Dengvaxia covers four serotypes of immunogenicity, eliminating the effect of ADE. Moreover, a heterologous prime-boost regimen that combines inactivated vaccines with alum and live attenuated vaccines might increase the immunogenic response. The lack of an ideal animal model is an obstacle to the development of dengue vaccines, and the macaque model may be considered for similar immunologic responses in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
