Japanese encephalitis Vaccination in Ramsgate & Kent

At Touchwood Pharmacy, we understand how important it is to get your health right, and this applies even when you’re thousands of miles from Ramsgate. Getting ill can feel like the end of the world, and even more so in a foreign country where you may not speak the language or understand how the health system works. We are pleased to offer the Japanese encephalitis vaccine, and a multitude of other travel vaccinations, from our conveniently located Ramsgate branch.

What is Japanese Encephalitis Caused By?

Japanese encephalitis is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus, which is carried by Culex mosquitoes. It is sometimes referred to as Japanese fever, and high temperatures are associated with the illness. Not everyone who is infected with the virus shows symptoms, but those who are symptomatic may complain of vomiting and headaches and may become confused. Symptoms tend to start around one to two weeks after the bite. Encephalitis means inflammation of the brain, and once this part of the illness begins, seizures may begin along with limb weakness. Around half of people with symptoms go on to suffer from permanent neurological damage. Japanese encephalitis is certainly an illness you want to protect yourself against before leaving the UK.

Japanese Encephalitis Treatment

There is no specific treatment for Japanese encephalitis. Most people with symptoms of this tropical disease will require admission to hospital, and treatment may include support with feeding and breathing, or treatment of seizures. There are around 68,000 symptomatic cases of Japanese encephalitis each year, and 17,000 deaths. Japanese encephalitis is found in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. If travelling to these areas, attending for the Japanese encephalitis vaccine prior to travel is highly recommended.

The Japanese encephalitis vaccine successfully protects against the virus, and continues to offer immunity for around two years.
