Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine

What is Japanese Encephalitis?  Japanese Encephalitis is a serious viral infection spread by infected mosquitoes in many areas of Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is not spread directly from person to person. Since Japanese Encephalitis is spread by mosquitoes, it is important to protect yourself from insect bites. For those traveling to high-risk areas, vaccination is recommended. Protection requires a two dose series, 28 days apart. 

Who is at risk?  The risk is low for most travelers, but it is higher for people living or traveling for long periods in areas where the disease is common and for those traveling for short periods of time but plan to visit rural areas or engage in outdoor activities. 

How can I protect myself?  Avoid mosquito bites by remaining in well-screened areas, wear clothing that covers most of the body, and use an effective insect repellent containing DEET.   Talk to your travel health professional about the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine. 

The Japanese Encephalitis vaccine is given to people 17 years of age and older.  The vaccine is given as a 2-dose series, with the doses 28 days apart.  The last dose of Japanese Encephalitis vaccine should be given at least 1 week before travel.
