If you are travelling to rural or agricultural areas of Asia and want to protect yourself against Japanese Encephalitis, Touchwood Pharmacy in Lichfield offers the JE vaccine. Japanese Encephalitis is a serious viral infection spread through mosquito bites, and while it is rare in short-term tourists, the risk increases significantly for those spending extended time outdoors in rural regions of South-East Asia, South Asia, and the Far East. There is no specific treatment once infected, making vaccination the most effective form of protection. Our trained pharmacists will assess your travel itinerary, length of stay, and health history to determine whether the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine in Lichfield

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.
