Can children with epilepsy receive the Japanese encephalitis vaccine?

In general, children with epilepsy can receive the Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine. The JE vaccine is an effective means of preventing epidemic Japanese B encephalitis. For children with epilepsy, vaccination is usually safe as long as their condition is stable, there has been no recent seizure, and they are taking anti-epileptic medications regularly. However, it should be noted that children with status epilepticus, immunodeficiency, central nervous system disorders, or other contraindications to the JE vaccine should not receive the vaccine. Additionally, before vaccination, parents should explain the benefits of vaccination to the child and closely monitor the child's physical reactions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the vaccination.
