What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather seroprevalence data on dengue among children aged 9 to 17 years in Martinique and Guadeloupe, regions significantly affected by dengue outbreaks. It will assess the acceptability of the Dengvaxia® vaccine among parents and guardians, exploring factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy. The study will involve blood sampling for serological testing and surveys to understand parental attitudes towards vaccination. The findings will inform optimal vaccine introduction strategies in these endemic areas.
