Planning a trip to Asia? The Japanese encephalitis vaccine in Northampton can help protect you from a serious illness spread by mosquitoes in some parts of Asia. This infection can cause inflammation in the brain and may lead to long-term issues or in rare cases, death. The vaccine is especially advised if you are travelling for a long stay, visiting rural areas, or going during the monsoon season. It is given in two doses, spaced about four weeks apart, so it is best to get started early. At Touchwood Pharmacy, our team will listen to your travel plans and help decide if the Japanese encephalitis injection is right for you.
