Clinical Overview

What is Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine?

Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a serious viral brain infection spread by Culex mosquitoes that breed in flooded rice paddies and stagnant water in rural and agricultural regions across Southeast Asia, the Pacific, China, and the Indian subcontinent. While many infections are mild, about 1 in 250 cases progresses to severe encephalitis with high fever, seizures, paralysis, coma, and a 30% mortality rate, with permanent neurological deficits in half of survivors. The Japanese Encephalitis vaccine (Ixiaro) is an inactivated, cell-culture derived vaccine. The schedule consists of two doses given 28 days apart (or a rapid schedule 7 days apart for adults aged 18–65) providing robust protection.
