description A live attenuated chikungunya vaccine (IXCHIQ) received licensure in the United States (US) for ≥ 18-year-olds in November 2023. Post-licensure safety surveillance identified 28 adverse events in 2024 among US persons, including six neurological or cardiac serious adverse events (SAEs) in males ≥ 65 years.
