What is Japanese Encephalitis?
Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in parts of Asia and the western Pacific. It can affect the brain and nervous system. While rare in travellers, the consequences can be severe, making prevention essential for those at higher risk.
About the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine
The Japanese encephalitis vaccine used in the UK is IXIARO®, an inactivated vaccine. The standard course is 2 doses, usually given on day 0 and day 28. For adults aged 18 to 64, an accelerated schedule of day 0 and day 7 may be used when time is short.
