A Vaccine for Dengue
Description
Dengue fever affects up to 100 million people every year, mainly children. It kills about 20,000—and they die from what is known as dengue shock syndrome. The hunt is now on for a vaccine. Sanofi pasteur and GSK, two of the biggest drug companies in the world, have been working on a dengue fever vaccine for some time. We go to Thailand and Vietnam to see what progress is being made.
