Encephalitis vaccine
Encephalitis vaccines are designed to protect against viral infections that cause brain inflammation, which can lead to severe neurological problems. These vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific viruses, such as Japanese encephalitis or tick-borne encephalitis. They are especially recommended for travelers to endemic areas, outdoor workers, or populations at higher risk. The vaccines are generally safe, with mild side effects like soreness or fever. Getting vaccinated can significantly reduce the risk of serious illness, complications, or long-term neurological damage caused by encephalitis viruses.
