Abstract

Em resposta ao cenário epidemiológico crítico de incidên- cia de casos, hospitalizações e óbitos por dengue, o Ministério da Saúde do Brasil incorporou, ainda em dezembro de 2023, a vacina contra a dengue no Calendário Nacional de Vacinação. Inicialmente, a vacina foi incorporada para crianças e adolescen- tes de 10 a 14 anos (1), faixa etária que concentra o maior número de hospitalizações pela doença depois das pessoas idosas — para quem, no entanto, a vacina não foi liberada pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa). Nesse sentindo, o Brasil tornou-se o primeiro país do mundo a disponibilizar a vacina contra a dengue de forma gratuita no serviço público de saúde, juntamente com diversos métodos de controle vetorial.
