Travel Vaccination Clinic

Make sure you're fully protected before you travel!

Japanese encephalitis is a life-threatening viral brain infection that is transmitted to humans through the bite of a Culex-infected mosquito. The virus is primarily found in areas of Southeast Asia and India.

If you will be travelling to a high-risk country, the best way to prevent JE is to get the Japanese encephalitis vaccination in Thamesmead or a Village Pharmacy near you.

A consultation with a travel health specialist at Village Pharmacy Travel Clinic and a couple of vaccinations could be the difference between you staying healthy and enjoying your travels and getting seriously ill.

The Various Levels of Risk

The risk for short term travellers to Asia is in urban areas is lower. Risk varies on the basis of destination, duration, season and activities.

It increases for persons who intend to live or travel in risk areas for long periods of time and have rural trips. Certain activities, even during short trips, where there is significant rural, outdoor or night-time exposure e.g., fieldwork or camping can increase the traveller’s risk.

FAQs

Want to know about the Travel Vaccinations?

The initial dosage consists of two vaccines given 7 days apart in adults (28 days apart in infants and those over 65 years old). A third and final dose is given after a year, providing protection for up to 10 years.

In addition to getting the JE vaccine, travellers should use DEET mosquito repellent, wear clothing that covers the skin, sleep with a mosquito net or window screens, and always use a fan and AC.

JE is most common in India and Southeast Asia.

Since there is no cure for Japanese encephalitis, treatment usually requires hospitalisation and involves managing symptoms.
