Japanese Encephalitis is a viral brain infection transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. It is most common in rural and agricultural areas across South-East Asia, South Asia, and the Far East.
It is recommended for travellers spending extended time in rural or outdoor settings in affected regions, particularly those farming, cycling, or camping. Short-term city tourists are generally at lower risk but should still seek advice.
The JE vaccine is given as a two-dose course, with the second dose administered 28 days after the first. Both doses should ideally be completed at least one week before entering a risk area.
We recommend booking as early as possible, ideally at least six to eight weeks before travel, to allow sufficient time to complete the two-dose course and develop full protection before your departure.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for Japanese Encephalitis. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, which is why vaccination before travel to affected regions is so strongly recommended.
Yes. Our Lichfield travel clinic offers a full range of travel vaccinations, including typhoid, hepatitis A and B, meningitis, and more, so you can arrange everything you need for your trip in a single convenient appointment.
