Sanofi denied that its vaccine, the world's first against dengue, had caused any deaths. "There is currently no evidence directly linking the Dengvaxia vaccine to any of the 14 deaths," a spokesman responded in an email. "In Dengvaxia clinical trials conducted over more than a decade and the over one million doses of the vaccine administered, no deaths related to the vaccine have been reported to us."

"Initial Philippines Probe Finds 'Causal Association' Between Deaths, Sanofi Dengue Vaccine," published at 8:54 a.m. ET on Feb. 2, didn't include a more detailed company response.
