JEV vaccine

The JEV (Japanese Encephalitis Virus) vaccine is a immunization that protects against Japanese encephalitis, a serious brain infection transmitted by mosquitoes, common in parts of Asia. The vaccine stimulates your immune system to recognize and fight the virus if exposed, significantly reducing the risk of illness. Typically given in 1-2 doses before travel or exposure, it’s especially recommended for travelers and residents in endemic areas. The vaccine is generally safe and effective, but like all vaccines, it may cause mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site or mild fever.
