Ixiaro

Ixiaro is a vaccination designed to provide protection against Japanese encephalitis (JE), a viral infection transmitted through mosquito bites. This vaccine is particularly important for travelers to regions where the virus is endemic, especially in rural areas of Southeast Asia and the western Pacific. Ixiaro is made using inactivated virus particles, stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the Japanese encephalitis virus, thereby helping to prevent infection.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Ixiaro Work?

Ixiaro works by introducing inactivated Japanese encephalitis virus into the body, which prompts the immune system to recognize the virus without causing the disease. This immune response leads to the production of antibodies, which can help protect against future infections if the person is exposed to the virus.

Common Dosages

  • The first dose is given at least 1 month prior to potential exposure.
  • The second dose is administered 1 to 28 days after the first dose.

Typical Dosing

  • For adults and children aged 2 months and older: The vaccination schedule consists of two doses of Ixiaro, with the second dose given 7 to 28 days after the first dose for optimal immune response.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Prevention of Japanese encephalitis in adults and children aged 2 months and older who are traveling to or living in areas where JE is endemic.

Who Shouldn't Take Ixiaro?

  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including eggs and other vaccine components.
  • A history of severe allergic reactions to a previous dose of Ixiaro or any vaccine containing Japanese encephalitis virus.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Ixiaro should be administered at least 1 month before travel to areas where Japanese encephalitis is prevalent.
  • Discuss any allergies or medical conditions with your healthcare provider before receiving the vaccine.
