Narinig niyo na ba ang tungkol sa Japanese Encephalitis?

Japanese Encephalitis or JE is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by Culex mosquitoes. It is also the leading cause of brain inflammation in Asia where children are more at risk. Madalas makikita ang Culex mosquitoes sa mga water pools, pig farms, at flooded rice fields. Naguumpisa ang JE sa flu-like symptoms gaya ng lagnat, chills, at headache. Maaari itong mag-progress to severe encephalitis or infection of the brain. Bakuna ang isa sa pinakamabisang paraan para malabanan ang JE. As of this writing, JE vaccine is not yet part of the routine childhood immunization program. You can consult your child's doctor to schedule JE vaccine, especially kung malapit kayo sa mga lugar na nabanggit.
