Takeda Reveals Pricing for Dengue Vaccine

Fresh off approval of its dengue vaccine in Brazil, Takeda has announced its pricing strategy for the shot. Prices will be determined by endemic status of the disease in a given country. Indonesia, where the virus is endemic, will see the vaccine priced at $40 per dose, while travel markets like Germany will pay $115 a shot.
