About Inactivated Japanese Encephalitis Virus Vaccine

Japanese encephalitis is a serious disease caused by a virus. It is the leading cause of viral encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in Asia. Encephalitis is an infection of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord. This infection often causes only mild symptoms, but prolonged swelling of the brain can cause permanent brain damage or death.Japanese encephalitis virus is carried and spread by mosquitoes.

The Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine is used to help prevent this disease in adults and adolescents who are at least 17 years old.This vaccine works by exposing you to a small dose of the virus, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. This vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.

Common side effects may include:headache, tired feeling; muscle pain, back pain; low fever, chills, flu symptoms; cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough; mild itching or skin rash; nausea, diarrhea; or pain, redness, tenderness, or a hard lump where the shot was given.Vaccines may be harmful to an unborn baby and generally should not be given to a pregnant woman. However, not vaccinating the mother could be more harmful to the baby if the mother becomes infected with a disease that this vaccine could prevent. Your doctor will decide whether you should receive this vaccine, especially if you have a high risk of infection with Japanese encephalitis virus.Do not receive this vaccine without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

This vaccine is injected into a muscle. You will receive this injection in a doctor's office or clinic setting. Also tell the doctor if you have recently received drugs or treatments that can weaken the immune system, including:

  • an oral, nasal, inhaled, or injectable steroid medicine;
  • chemotherapy or radiation;
  • medications to treat psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other autoimmune disorders; or
