There is no need for Malaysia to follow Singapore's move in approving the usage of the first dengue vaccine in the world, says Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahya.

Malaysia has to weigh in several factors before deciding on the use of the world's first dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia, for dengue fever treatment in the country.

Malaysia is to only decide by June whether to use the world's first dengue vaccine now already licensed in Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador and the Philippines.

A scientific study on the first dengue vaccine produced by French company, Sanofi, showed it could only give effective protection to 47 per cent of dengue patients, Health Minister said.

Dengvaxia secured its first regulatory approval in Mexico a fortnight ago and is currently being reviewed by around 20 countries in Asia and Latin America.

Clinical tests on several types of dengue vaccines are being carried out by the private sector to test their effectiveness, the Health Ministry says.

Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said several collaborations have been fostered to produce a dengue vaccine in efforts to eradicate the disease.

The ministry is analysing all data available on the vaccine and the study is expected to be completed in several months, says Minister Dr S. Subramaniam.

The world's first dengue vaccine is in production and could be available in the second half of 2015, according to vaccine company Sanofi Pasteur.

The vaccine's clinical trial, conducted on 20,875 children aged between 9 and 16 years, recorded 60.8% overall efficacy against the disease.

The use of vaccine to prevent dengue in Malaysia is expected to start in 2016, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.

A drug giant has achieved breakthroughs in the development of a dengue vaccine which could be ready by the end of next year.

The vaccine, the first in the world, is being developed through a joint effort between Pahang Technology Resources Sdn Bhd (PTR) and the Russian government.
