At Asclepius Healthcare Clinic (AHC), we offer the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) Vaccination, a vital preventive service designed to protect individuals from Japanese Encephalitis, a serious viral infection that affects the brain and can lead to severe neurological complications, including long-term disability or death. This vaccine is especially important for those living in or traveling to areas where the disease is common.
The JE vaccine provides strong protection against the virus, which is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. By receiving the vaccine, you significantly reduce the risk of contracting this potentially life-threatening disease.
Japanese Encephalitis can cause inflammation of the brain, leading to symptoms such as fever, headache, seizures, and, in severe cases, long-term cognitive and motor impairments. The vaccination reduces the risk of these debilitating complications.
The JE vaccine is highly recommended for individuals who are traveling to areas where Japanese Encephalitis is endemic, particularly rural regions in Asia and parts of the Pacific. It is also recommended for residents living in these regions, especially those who may have increased exposure to mosquito bites.
The Japanese Encephalitis vaccine has been extensively tested and proven to be both safe and effective. It is typically administered in two doses over a few weeks, providing long-term protection against the virus.
The JE vaccine is suitable for adults and children (usually recommended for those aged 2 months and older) who are at risk. This vaccination is an essential step in safeguarding the health of travelers, expatriates, and residents of affected areas.
