waldwolf Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 How many shots should one get for japanese encephalitis ? 3 or 2 ? And one which days ? According to one US Center for Disease Control (CDC) study on US and British subjects, the vaccine was more immunogenic (capable of inducing an immune response) if the vaccine was administered in three (3) doses, over a 30-day period (days 0, 7, and 30), with a booster shot after 1 year. Those receiving 3 doses, showed adequate antibody levels for a full 1 year period. However, of those who only received 2 doses, just 29% had adequate antibody levels after 6 months. Would recommend you discuss this subject with your doctor and seek his recommendation. As with all medications (including vaccinations), there is a potential for serious side effects. cheers waldwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 We had it done at BNH, first shot, then a month later another then a year later the last. No side effects luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
