Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals
The Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals department is responsible for targeting vaccine-preventable diseases, guiding immunization research and establishing immunization policy.
Japanese Encephalitis
There are four main types of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccines currently in use: inactivated mouse brain-based vaccines, inactivated cell-based vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, and live recombinant vaccines.
JE vaccination should be integrated into national immunization schedules in all areas where JE is recognized as a public health priority.
Monitoring vaccine impact in settings where JE vaccine has been introduced is a research priority.
