Summary

This trial tests different vaccination schedules for Japanese encephalitis in healthy children starting at 8 months old. Researchers compare how well each schedule triggers and maintains protective antibodies through age 6, including the effect of booster doses. The study also monitors safety after each vaccine dose. The goal is to find the best way to protect children from this serious brain infection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Japanese encephalitis vaccine (inactivated and live versions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the most effective vaccination schedule for long-lasting protection against Japanese encephalitis in children.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 4 trial, so the vaccines are already licensed. The main uncertainty is which schedule offers the best antibody persistence, and results may vary by region or population.
