Health experts urged the Food and Drug Administration to approve a new dengue vaccine, noting that existing programs to eradicate dengue are no longer effective. At a press conference led by the Empowering Networks to Defeat Dengue (E.N.D. Dengue) Coalition in Quezon City, former Department of Health undersecretary Eric Tayag said that the application for approval of the new dengue vaccine has been pending since 2023.
