If your travel plans include visiting parts of Asia, especially rural or rice-farming areas, it is wise to consider the Japanese encephalitis vaccine in Northolt. This disease is caused by a virus spread through mosquito bites and can lead to swelling of the brain. Although rare, it can be life-threatening. The vaccine is given in two doses a few weeks apart, so planning ahead is important. The Japanese encephalitis injection is suitable for adults and children over two months of age who are at risk. Our experts at Touchwood Pharmacy can help you understand if the vaccine is right for your travel plans and provide a smooth and simple experience.
