JE vaccine

The Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccine is a shot that helps prevent infection by the Japanese Encephalitis virus, which is transmitted through mosquito bites. This virus can cause severe brain inflammation, leading to symptoms like high fever, headache, seizures, and sometimes long-term neurological damage or death. The vaccine works by training your immune system to recognize and fight the virus if you're exposed. It is especially recommended for travelers to endemic areas and people living in or near regions where JE is common, as it significantly reduces the risk of developing severe illness from the virus.
