Overview
- The proposal outlines four priority actions: year‑round source reduction and vector control, stronger health‑system capacity and surveillance, targeted vaccination under CONAIN guidance, and focused risk communication and personal protection.
- Fumigation is recommended only as a localized response in areas with confirmed cases and active viral circulation, not as a routine preventive measure.
- Provincial entomological monitoring using 359 ovitraps across 20 localities has confirmed Aedes aegypti presence throughout the year, enabling early alerts and rapid deployment of resources.
- Santa Fe reports more than 141,000 free dengue vaccine doses administered with an 85% drop in cases versus the prior season, highlighting the impact of combined vaccination and surveillance.
- The plan advises a phased vaccination strategy prioritizing people ages 15 to 39 in high‑transmission endemic areas, with real‑time epidemiological tracking of cases, serotypes and vector activity.
