Chikungunya vaccine

Chikungunya is a disease caused by a virus found mainly on the African and Asian continents, as well as in most Latin American countries. The virus is mainly transmitted by the bites of infected mosquitoes, but can also be transmitted by blood, for example through blood transfusions or organ transplants. If you're traveling to a high-risk area, it's important to take the necessary precautions and consider vaccination. A preventive vaccine is available and recommended in certain circumstances.
