Question

To prevent chikungunya, we need to get the Salk's vaccine taken at least three weeks prior to travelling to an area which is affected by the disease.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Chikungunya is a viral disease which is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. There is no vaccination against chikungunya as of now. The trials are going on but no conclusive proof of a vaccine is there as of now. Salk's vaccine, on the other hand, is effective against poliomyelitis.
