What Is Japanese Encephalitis?
Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne virus that infects the brain and central nervous system. While most cases are mild or asymptomatic, severe cases can result in:
- High fever
- Confusion
- Seizures
- Paralysis
- Permanent brain damage
- Death (in rare cases)
There is no specific treatment, which makes prevention through vaccination and mosquito protection especially important.

The JE vaccine is recommended for:
- Travellers spending extended time (1 month or more) in rural or agricultural areas of Asia and the Western Pacific
- Backpackers and adventure travellers
- People visiting friends and family in rural areas
- Short-term travellers who may have increased exposure due to activities like hiking, cycling, or camping
- Children aged 2 and above travelling to high-risk regions
If you’re unsure whether you need this vaccine, we’ll advise during your pre-travel consultation based on your itinerary and risk level.
