INDICATION & USAGE
IXIARO is a vaccine indicated for the prevention of disease caused by Japanese encephalitis virus, approved for use in individuals 2 months of age and older.
Important Safety Information
Severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of IXIARO, any other Japanese encephalitis vaccine, or any component of IXIARO, including protamine sulfate ─ a compound known to cause hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals ─ is a contraindication to administration of IXIARO. Individuals with a history of severe allergic reaction to another Japanese encephalitis vaccine may be referred to an allergist for evaluation if immunization with IXIARO is considered.
Vaccination with IXIARO may not protect all individuals. Individuals with a weakened immune system may have a diminished immune response to IXIARO. Fainting may occur when receiving any injection, including IXIARO. Tell your healthcare practitioner if you have a history of fainting from injections.
The most common (>10%) adverse reactions were: fever, irritability, diarrhea, and injection site redness in infants 2 months to <1 year of age; fever in children 1 to <12 years of age; pain and tenderness in adolescents 12 to <18 years of age; and, headache, muscle pain, and injection site pain and tenderness in adults.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of vaccines to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Visit www.vaers.hhs.gov or call 1-800-822-7967. You should ask your healthcare practitioner for medical advice about adverse events.
For more information, please see the physician’s Prescribing Information and ask your healthcare practitioner about the risk and benefits of IXIARO.

Japanese Encephalitis: Patient Stories
Hear from real patients and their families about the devastating consequences of JE.
CHELSEA’S STORY
A young woman performing volunteer work in Thailand becomes infected with JE virus. Her path to recovery is long and arduous.
JOHN’S STORY
A single mosquito bite alters the lives of a family. Parents Kathy and Ed share the life-changing consequences JE had on their son John, now left with quadriplegia.
SOPHIE’S STORY
A trip to China ends abruptly as a young scientist is hospitalized in a coma and remains paralyzed. Her father Mike narrates how the family cares for their daughter’s profound medical needs.
Some people infected with JE virus won’t experience any symptoms, and the infection will clear. They’ll never know they had it. Some will experience mild, flu-like symptoms, and then the infection will clear. In rare cases, JE infection can cause brain swelling and stroke-like symptoms that can lead to permanent brain damage or death. It’s unknown why some people clear the virus, while others suffer devastating consequences.
TRAVELING
TO ASIA?
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.
Congrats! You’re traveling to Asia. How exciting!

See, there’s no cure for JE.
But you can protect yourself!
