Immunogenicity of an Intradermal Qdenga Vaccine Among Healthy Volunteers

As in the setting of low- to middle-income countries, to demonstrating that lower doses of vaccine via intradermal route can still elicit robust immune responses, thereby lowering the overall cost of vaccination might be particularly meaningful ,with possible extra benefit of experiencing fewer side effects or risk of allergy. This study goal is to explores the potential of intradermal administration of Qdenga, hypothesizing that a lower dose via this route could achieve adequate immunogenicity compared to the standard subcutaneous administration, thus offering a cost-effective alternative particularly in low-resource settings where dengue is most prevalent.

Inclusion criteria

• Have severe chronic diseases or condition in progress cannot be controlled. For example, poor controlled DM and uncontrolled HT.
• Have the history of urticaria 1 year before receiving the investigational vaccine.
• Have known underlying diseases of thrombocytopenia or other coagulation disorders (which may cause contraindications for intramuscular injection).
