Bhutan	Presumed transmission in nonmountainous areas	Unknown	Rare cases reported but limited data Proximity to endemic areas of India and presence of vectors suggests transmission likely
Brunei Darussalam	Presumed widespread	Unknown	Limited data but outbreak reported in 2013 Proximity to Sarawak, Malaysia suggests ongoing transmission likely
Burma (Myanmar)	Presumed widespread	Year-round with most cases reported July–September
Cambodia	Widespread	Year-round with peak season May–October	Cases reported from majority of provinces, so transmission likely countrywide
China	All provinces except Xinjiang and Qinghai	Peak season June–October
India	Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal	Peak season May–November, especially in northern India; the season may be extended or yearround in some areas, especially in southern India

Lao People’s Democratic Republic	Widespread	Year-round with peak season June–September

Nepal	Southern lowlands (Terai), some hill and mountain districts	Peak season June–October	Highest rates of disease reported from southern lowlands (Terai) Vaccine not routinely recommended for those trekking in high-altitude areas
North Korea	Presumed widespread	Unknown Proximity to South Korea suggests peak transmission May–November
Pakistan	Unknown	Unknown	Very limited data Rare cases reported from Sindh Province
Papua New Guinea	Widespread	Presumed year-round	Sporadic cases reported from Western Province, serologic evidence of disease from Gulf and Southern Highland Provinces, and 1 case reported from near Port Moresby, so transmission likely countrywide

Viet Nam	Widespread	Year-round with peak season May–October, especially in northern Viet Nam

^*Destination and transmission season information should be considered in association with travel duration and activities when making decisions on vaccination.

^†Data are based on published and unpublished reports. Risk assessments should be performed cautiously, because risk can vary within areas and from year to year, and surveillance data regarding human cases and JE virus transmission are often incomplete. In some endemic areas, human cases among residents are limited because of vaccination or natural immunity among older people. However, because JE virus is maintained in an enzootic cycle between animals and mosquitoes, susceptible visitors to these areas still may be at risk for infection.

^‡Outbreaks previously occurred in the Western Pacific Islands of Guam (1947–1948) and Saipan (1990), but as they are no longer considered risk areas, they are not included in the table.

Privacy Declaration

Last Updated: 01. May 2019

Valneva SE and its affiliates (“Valneva“,“we“, “us” or “our“) have created this privacy declaration (hereafter referred to as the “Privacy Declaration“) in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy.

The Site may collect information from visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via email and/or feedback forms. Some of the information that you submit on the Site may be Personal Data. A site may further use “cookies” and Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses. A cookie is a bit of information that a website sends to your web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences and an IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider.

2. Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance is the process of discovering, evaluating, understanding and preventing adverse reactions or other problems related to medicines. Their notification is of great importance for public health. We will only use and share this information for pharmacovigilance purposes. This processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Valneva is subject.

Valneva is required to store and report information relevant to pharmacovigilance to health authorities worldwide (including countries whose data protection levels differ from those of the EU). The reports contain detailed information on the incident, but only to a limited extent personal data.

With regard to patients, the notification will contain, if available, only age, date of birth, year of birth, gender and initials, depending on the information available, but never the name of the patient.

With regard to the notifier, the notification will include, depending on the information available, the name, professional activity (e.g. doctor, pharmacist), address, e-mail address and telephone number. The contact details are necessary to be able to follow up the reporting and thus obtain high-quality and complete information on adverse events.

Information on notifications will be kept for at least ten (10) years after the product is no longer on the market in any country.

Your data will be kept strictly confidential, will not be passed on to any other companies except Valneva country organizations with applicable open job opportunities and will only be passed on within the company to the heads of departments where a suitable position is available.

Your data will be deleted automatically after seven (7) months from the date of receipt of your application. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time in writing via gdpr@valneva.com. In this case please refer to your job application and we will delete your personal data.

4. Vendor, customer or other business partners:

We will not use your personal data for marketing activities unless you have consented to receive marketing communications from us.

5. Medical Requests:

Your medical requests regarding our products will be stored due to legal obligations and in the legitimate interests of Valneva to have evidence about the information provided when replying to medical requests. We will store your name, contact details, content of your request and content of our reply to your request.

We will store this data for a period of 30 years after having received your medical request.

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data using physical (locked filing cabinets and restricted access to offices), electronic (especially firewalls) or procedural security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Valneva will take appropriate steps to ensure that Personal Data about you is protected from loss or theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

Western Pacific Islands	Outbreaks of human disease reported in Guam in 1947–1948 and Saipan in 1990	Unknown; most human cases reported October–March
*Data are based on published reports and personal correspondence. Risk assessments should be performed cautiously, because risk can vary within areas and from year to year, and surveillance data regarding human cases and JE virus transmission are incomplete.
**In some endemic areas, human cases among residents are limited because of natural immunity among older people or vaccination. However, because JE virus is maintained in an enzootic cycle between animalsand mosquitoes, susceptible visitors to these areas still may be at risk of infection.
