Dengue fever affects
up to 100 million people every year, mainly
children. It kills about 20,000 – and they die from
what is known as dengue shock syndrome. The hunt is
now on for a vaccine. Sanofi pasteur and GSK, two of
the biggest drug companies in the world, have been
working on a dengue fever vaccine for some time.
Kill or Cure? goes to Thailand and Vietnam to see
what progress is being made.
Part of a 28 x
25-minute documentary series produced for the BBC.
