Core Tip

Core Tip: Dengue fever, a persistent public health concern globally, remains endemic in Nigeria, with recent outbreaks stressing the urgency for effective prevention and control. Understanding the epidemiology and root causes of dengue outbreaks in Nigeria, particularly in Sokoto state, is important for targeted intervention. The recommended Takeda dengue vaccine holds promise in mitigating the disease burden, but challenges such as vaccine acceptance and accessibility persist. Future prevention efforts should prioritize government intervention, community practices, and innovative vector control measures to curb dengue transmission. This study provides insights for policymakers and healthcare professionals in addressing the dengue challenge in Nigeria.
