Most pharmacies do not have it, but it can be obtained quickly if the customer requests it.
Rosario and the Province of Santa Fe have been reporting cases of native dengue (in addition to imported ones), which generates concern, even more so taking into account the enormous number of mosquitoes that live in the city these days. However, there is an effective method to prevent the disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti: TAK-003, the vaccine that was approved in April 2023 by Anmat.
The vaccine is indicated (with presentation of a medical prescription) for the prevention of the disease caused by the 4 (four) serotypes of dengue in all people over 4 years of age.
Because it is an attenuated virus vaccine, it is contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in immunosuppressed people.
“The complete scheme includes 2 doses separated by 3 months. It is important to mention that two weeks after the first application, an immune response through antibodies begins to be observed,” they explain from Takeda Argentina.
How much does it cost and how many doses are
In Rosario, the price of each dose of the vaccine is $61,340. Two doses must be applied, so the complete vaccination schedule costs $122,680.
The pharmacies consulted do not know if the social and prepaid insurance companies recognize their discounted coverage. Each interested party must consult individually with their social insurance, prepaid and pharmacy.
