The present invention relates to the construction of, and immunization with viral vaccines. In particular, bivalent vaccines that are capable of providing simultaneous virus infection protection for two or more different viruses. Furthermore, the bivalent vaccines contemplated herein are contemplated as being effective in a neonatal mammal. One such bivalent viral vaccine comprises two antigenic epitopes against the dengue viruses and at least one antigenic epitope against hepatitis B virus. Immunization cross-reactivity may also provide infection protection against other viruses as well.
