What is Japanese Encephalitis?

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a serious viral infection spread through mosquito bites, primarily in rural and agricultural regions across Asia and parts of the Western Pacific.

Although many infections cause mild or no symptoms, severe cases can lead to inflammation of the brain, neurological complications and, in rare situations, death. The risk is highest for travellers spending extended periods in rural areas, particularly during monsoon and mosquito seasons.

Countries where Japanese encephalitis risk may exist include:

India
Thailand
Vietnam
Indonesia
Philippines
Nepal
China
Japan
Cambodia
Laos
Parts of Australia (Torres Strait)

Our Plaistow travel clinic provides up-to-date destination guidance to determine whether vaccination is recommended for your trip.

Ixiaro Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine in E13

At Newmans Pharmacy, we provide the Ixiaro Japanese encephalitis vaccine in E13 for eligible travellers.

Ixiaro is the licensed Japanese encephalitis vaccine used in the UK and is designed to protect against JE infection before travel. It is an inactivated vaccine administered as a course of injections.

How the Ixiaro Vaccine Works

The standard vaccination schedule includes:

Two doses administered 28 days apart
Full protection achieved after completing the course
Booster doses may be recommended for future travel or ongoing exposure risk

Because the vaccine course takes time to complete, we recommend arranging your consultation at least 6 weeks before departure whenever possible.

Our pharmacists will assess your destination, travel activities and medical history to determine whether the vaccine is suitable for you.
