WHAT IXIARO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
IXIARO is a vaccine against the Japanese encephalitis virus.
The vaccine causes the body to produce its own protection (antibodies)
against this disease.
IXIARO is used to prevent infection with the Japanese encephalitis
virus (JEV). This virus is mainly found
in Asia and is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that have bitten an
infected animal (like pigs). Many
infected people develop mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. In people
who develop severe disease, JE
usually starts as a flu-like illness, with fever, chills, tiredness,
headache, nausea, and vomiting. Confusion
and agitation also occur in the early stage of disease.
IXIARO should be given only to adults, adolescents, children and
infants aged 2 months and older travelling
to countries, where JE is endemic or who are at risk through work.
