QDENGA Dengue Vaccine to Hit India Market in 2027; Dr Reddy’s to Sell It

The vaccine, approved for ages 4 to 60, will be sold in India’s private market after regulatory steps are completed.

  • On Friday, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Takeda Pharmaceutical signed an agreement to promote and distribute the Qdenga dengue vaccine across India's private market for paediatric and adult vaccination.
  • Dengue cases in India have surged 11-fold over 20 years, with the World Health Organization reporting 232,425 cases and 233 deaths in 2024, creating urgent prevention needs.
  • Qdenga, or TAK-003, is a live-attenuated vaccine approved for people aged 4 to 60 years, administered in two 0.5 ml doses three months apart to protect against all four dengue serotypes.
  • Subject to final regulatory processes, the vaccine is expected to become available in India in the first half of 2027, with Dr. Reddy's and Takeda collaborating on healthcare-professional engagement and dengue awareness.
  • Takeda retains public-market rights and welcomed the Parliamentary Committee on Health's recommendation to include Qdenga in the Universal Immunization Program, reflecting growing recognition of dengue as a public-health priority.
