Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first vaccine against chikungunya, developed by the European group Valneva, health authorities said.<\/b><\/p>\n

The mosquito-borne disease, which causes fever and joint pains and can be fatal to newborns. Even although deaths are rare, it is seen as an \u201cemerging global health threat\u201d.<\/p>\n

Approval by the FDA of the single-dose vaccine for people aged 18 and above is expected to speed up its rollout worldwide.<\/p>\n

People in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Americas are at the highest risk of infection.<\/p>\n

Mosquitos carrying the chikungunya virus are endemic in these areas.<\/p>\n

However, it has spread to new parts of the world, causing an increase in cases, including in Europe.<\/p>\n

Valneva has also filed an application with the European Medicines Agency (EMA).<\/p>\n

In the absence of any preventive treatment to date, the only way to protect oneself was to avoid being bitten.<\/p>\n

According to the FDA, at least five million cases of chikungunya have been recorded in the last 15 years.<\/p>\n
