If you are travelling to parts of Asia, especially rural or farming areas, the Japanese encephalitis vaccine in Leighton-Buzzard is something you should consider. This serious illness is spread through mosquito bites and can cause brain swelling, which in some cases may lead to long-term health issues or even death. Touchwood Pharmacy offers the Japanese encephalitis injection as part of our travel health service. The vaccine is usually given in two doses over 28 days, so it is best not to leave it until the last minute. The risk is higher if your trip is long, during the rainy season, or includes outdoor activities like hiking or farming visits.
