WHY VACCINATE
The Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine
A two-dose course for travellers spending time in rural, agricultural areas of Asia
Full Protection From 1 Week After Dose 2
Worth Considering for Rural & Outdoor Trips
Japanese encephalitis is spread by Culex mosquitoes, mainly in rural and agricultural parts of Asia, and can cause serious brain inflammation. The vaccine (Ixiaro) is given as two doses, 28 days apart, with full protection developing about a week after the second dose. It's most relevant for longer stays, monsoon-season travel, or trips involving outdoor activity, cycling or trekking in affected areas.

KNOW THE FACTS
What is Japanese Encephalitis?
A mosquito-borne virus found in rural, agricultural parts of Asia
Mosquito-Borne Virus
Spread by Culex mosquitoes, which breed around rice paddies, wetlands and standing water.
Affects the Brain
Can cause serious inflammation of the brain, with significant risk for those who become severely unwell.
Rural Asia
Found in South-East Asia, South Asia and the Far East, mainly in rural and agricultural areas.
Preventable
A two-dose vaccine course, alongside mosquito bite avoidance, lowers your risk significantly.
GOOD TO KNOW
