From family vacations to some last-minute trips, we may have different reasons to travel.

But we all want protection from disease.

To help protect you against chikungunya, a mosquito-borne illness which can cause severe joint pain that may last for years.

Ask your travel health provider about VIMKUNYA.

VIMKUNYA is a vaccine for the prevention of disease caused by the chikungunya virus in people aged 12 years and older.

Additional clinical trials are required to confirm the clinical profile of VIMKUNYA.

VIMKUNYA induced an immune response in nearly all individuals within 3 weeks after vaccination.

You should not get VIMKUNYA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or if you had a previous allergic reaction to VIMKUNYA.

People with lowered immune systems, including people receiving medications that affect the immune system, may have a diminished response to VIMKUNYA.

Tell your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.

Fainting may occur.

The most common side effects were injection site pain, fatigue, headache and muscle pain.

These are not all the possible side effects, see the full safety information at VIMKUNYA.com.
