Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine – West End, Southampton

Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a serious mosquito-borne viral infection that affects the brain. It is most common in rural parts of Asia and the Western Pacific, particularly near rice paddies and pig farms. Though rare, the disease can cause long-term neurological damage or be fatal — especially in travellers spending extended time in affected areas.
