Abstract:
In 2008, Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine was included as Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) for children(under 15)in China, and the number of JE cases of children was greatly reduced. However, since 2006, there have been outbreaks of adult JE in northern China, which has formed a huge public health burden on the local area and caused wide attention from the society. In addition, a number of adult JE have appeared in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and other countries, and adult JE has become a public health concern at abroad. This paper introduces the current situation of adult JE both China and abroad, and discusses the relevant issues of the prevention and control of adult JE.
