Buenos Aires Province Expands Free Dengue Vaccination to Ages 15–59

Appointments are assigned through Mi Salud Digital, with the first 22,100 slots going to earlier registrants who had not been called.

Overview

  • The campaign now includes all residents aged 15 to 59 regardless of prior dengue infection.
  • The health ministry began emailing 22,100 initial appointments to people who had registered previously but were not eligible under earlier criteria.
  • People must register on the Mi Salud Digital platform to receive an email with their appointment and can choose from vaccinators across the province’s 135 municipalities.
  • The provincial government purchased 500,000 doses that will be distributed as they are manufactured and received, and vaccination is free without a medical order.
  • Clinical guidance requires a six‑month wait after a dengue infection and a three‑month interval between doses, with contraindications for pregnancy, lactation, and certain immunocompromised or chemotherapy and high‑dose corticosteroid treatments.
