The FDA has lifted a pause on the administration of a vaccine for the chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne illness currently spreading from China.
The Ixchiq single-dose vaccine was approved for adults 18 and up at risk of exposure to the virus in 2023
But administrations of the shot to adults aged 60 and older were paused in May of this year, triggered by reports of 17 serious side effects following vaccination, including two deaths.
Most of the reported issues were neurological or cardiac, and all involved people over 60.
An FDA spokesperson told DailyMail.com: ‘FDA has completed an updated benefit-risk assessment of Ixchiq, including for use in individuals 18 years of age and older.
‘Based on the available data and its benefit-risk assessment, FDA has removed the recommended pause in the use of Ixchiq in individuals 60 years of age and older.’

The same goes for dengue fever.
