Can You Protect Yourself Against Dengue?
There is no vaccine against dengue. It is still in the trial phase. Until a vaccine becomes available, you have to take measures to protect yourself against mosquito bites. Keep your body covered with long dresses and long sleeved clothes. Use mosquito repellents, such as sprays, electric vapours and coils.
If you tend to take naps during the day, sleep under a mosquito net. Nowadays, you can get medicated mosquito nets online to protect yourself against both dengue and malaria.
