Japanese Encephalitis Travel Vaccine

Japanese encephalitis is diagnosed through clinical symptoms and laboratory tests. Samples of blood or spinal fluid are collected and tested.

There’s no specific treatment for Japanese encephalitis but patients can recover through supportive therapy, hospitalization, IV fluids, and respiratory support.

To reduce possible infection:

• Use insect repellent lotions or creams
• Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts
• Sleep in air-conditioned rooms with screened windows
• Use mosquito bed nets
• Get vaccinated against the virus

The JE vaccine is recommended for people living in or moving to JE-endemic countries and for frequent travelers.

The possible side effects of meningococcal vaccines are usually mild and will go away on their own.

At Nao Medical, we accept most major insurance plans, but in order to know if your plan covers the test, we would need to run your insurance and this can only be done at the beginning of your visit. If you would like to know ahead of time, please call the number on the back of your insurance card so a representative may let you know which coronavirus test is covered by your insurance plan.
