Dr. Yang Zhaohua
Side effects of the Japanese encephalitis vaccine commonly include fever, headache, dizziness, and nausea. However, the benefits of the Japanese encephalitis vaccine outweigh its risks; vaccination effectively prevents Japanese encephalitis. Prior to injection, ensure the injection site is clean to avoid infection or inflammation. After vaccination, remain at the injection site for a period of observation to promptly address any unexpected reactions.
