    The Japanese encephalitis vaccine is safe and effective for people aged 2 months and older. Vaccination is recommended for those at the highest risk of catching Japanese encephalitis.​

    Once fully vaccinated, it can take between 2 to 4 weeks for your body to develop a protective immune response to the disease, so if you’re eligible, you should get vaccinated as soon as possible.

  7. Good article from #GAVI on #JapaneseEncephalitis. It's a rare disease in travellers to rural South and Southeast Asia but the neurological consequences of infection can be devastating
