Scientists Make Vaccine For Dengue

Scientists are optimistic they may soon have a vaccination for dengue fever, a disease that threatens more than half the world's population.

A crucial final-phase trial has just ended in Thailand and results should be known by the end of next year.

An estimated 220 million people go down with the disease each year. It's so painful it's also called "Break-Bone Fever".

South East Asia is the worst-hit region, but Latin America is increasingly affected.

In the worst cases it can be fatal.
