I was wrong. There wasn't one back then, it was just one of the more common diseases to deal with and I forgot there wasn't a vax.
Like someone else pointed out, it is a very recent development from this year so I don't know much about it

I grew up in venezuela and everyone had to get mandatory vaccines for typhoid, dengue, hepatitis A and yellow fever in school every year.
They were needed otherwise medical systems would be super strung during the rain season and even more people would die. Pretty shitty deaths too and it greatly affected kids.
Malaria was also around but there wasnt a vaccine for it. Seems the first one just got approved which is great
Edit: thank you for pointing out the dengue vaccine is a new development. I forgot there was no vaccine for it until this year.

I have to agree with you and point out that those parents were raised by the previous generation that tended to be extremely hands off and is currently showing their true colors with their entitlement. They're the fruit of the works of previous generations.
