Article Synopsis
- Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is a significant health issue in India, primarily caused by the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus, particularly affecting children under 15, despite vaccination efforts.
- A study involving 266 children in Uttar Pradesh assessed the immune response to the SA-14-14-2 JE vaccine, finding that a majority (97.74%) had no detectable anti-JEV-specific IgG antibodies after two doses.
- Results indicated a declining trend in antibody levels over time, highlighting the need for booster doses to maintain immunity against the JE virus in vaccinated children.
