Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination: Essential Protection for Asian Travel

Understanding the Threat

Japanese Encephalitis is a serious viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes. This dangerous disease causes inflammation of the brain, potentially resulting in permanent neurological damage or death. According to the World Health Organisation, at least 50,000 people across Asia develop visible symptoms annually, highlighting the significant risk to unprotected travellers.

Symptom Recognition

While most individuals infected by the Japanese Encephalitis virus remain asymptomatic or experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, approximately one person in 250 develops severe manifestations including:

  • Persistent vomiting
  • Seizures
  • Severe headache
  • Mental confusion and disorientation

Professional Vaccination Recommendation

Our medical experts strongly recommend vaccination for travellers planning visits to high-risk regions, particularly those considering outdoor activities where mosquito exposure is heightened. The comprehensive immunisation protocol against Japanese Encephalitis consists of two injections administered over a 28-day period.

Additional Protection Measures

While professional vaccination provides essential protection, we advise supplementary precautions during travel. Utilise mosquito nets and implement measures to avoid insect bites between dusk and dawn, when mosquito activity peaks in affected regions.

Global Risk Assessment

High-Risk Regions

Areas requiring vaccination protection include:

  • The Indian subcontinent
  • Multiple regions throughout Asia
  • Remote areas of North-East Australia

Important Vaccination Information

Age Requirements

The vaccine can be safely administered to individuals aged 2 months and above.

Duration of Protection

Our qualified medical professionals administer all vaccinations in accordance with the highest safety standards, ensuring both effectiveness and patient comfort throughout your visit.
