What are the main procedures for Japanese encephalitis vaccine?

Japanese encephalitis is relatively common in our lives. It is an infectious disease that can cause great harm to the human body. Patients will experience nausea, vomiting, high fever, and in severe cases, it may even endanger the patient's life. In our lives, we need to get vaccinated against Japanese encephalitis and prevent the disease. So, what are the main procedures for Japanese encephalitis vaccine vaccination?

There are many sources of infection for Japanese encephalitis, including humans and animals. While we are doing a good job of vaccination, we also need to cut off the source of infection, reduce the chance of contact with mosquitoes and poultry during the peak period of the disease, and better protect ourselves. Let's take a look at the main procedures for Japanese encephalitis vaccine vaccination.

Injection time of inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine: The national immunization program stipulates that basic immunization requires two injections. The first injection is given when the baby is 6 months old, and the second injection is given 7-10 days later. A booster injection is given at 1.5 to 2 years old (18 to 24 months old) and 4 years old, and another booster injection is given at 6 years old. For babies in epidemic areas, emergency vaccination should be carried out for babies under 6 years old whose Japanese encephalitis immunization history is unknown or who have not completed the full vaccination schedule. The country also uses live attenuated vaccines: the first shot is given at 1 year old, a booster shot is given at 2 years old, and another booster shot is given at 7 years old. People with fever, acute diseases, severe chronic diseases, neurological diseases, allergic diseases, a history of allergy to antibiotics, and those with allergic constitutions are not suitable for injection.

The protection rate of inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine is 60% to 90%. The neutralizing antibody conversion rate can reach over 80% after a single injection of the live attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine, and over 90% after booster injection in the second year.

After the above introduction, we have a simple understanding of the vaccination procedure of the Japanese encephalitis vaccine. It should be noted that the vaccination of the Japanese encephalitis vaccine is best completed one month before the epidemic season. Very few children will have allergic reactions, which is normal and can be relieved on its own. If the symptoms are more serious, you need to see a doctor in time.
