Paraguay Launches First Dengue Vaccine Campaign
Paraguay has initiated its first nationwide dengue vaccination campaign to curb rising cases of the mosquito-borne disease.
The Paraguayan Ministry of Public Health has rolled out the country’s first dengue vaccine campaign, targeting high-risk populations in areas with recent outbreaks. The initiative follows a surge in suspected dengue cases during the early months of 2026, reinforcing the need for preventive measures alongside existing vector control and surveillance efforts. Campaign logistics include mobile vaccination units and fixed sites in both urban and rural zones.
