Indication and Usage

IXIARO^® is a vaccine indicated for the prevention of disease caused by JE virus, approved for use in individuals 2 months of age and older.

Important Safety Information

Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of IXIARO^®, any other Japanese encephalitis vaccine, or any component of IXIARO^®, including protamine sulfate ─ a compound known to cause hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals ─ is a contraindication to administration of IXIARO^®. Individuals with a history of severe allergic reaction to another Japanese encephalitis vaccine may be referred to an allergist for evaluation if immunization with IXIARO^® might be considered.   

Vaccination with IXIARO^® may not protect all individuals.  Immunocompromised individuals may have a diminished immune response to IXIARO^®. Syncope can occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including IXIARO^®. Procedures should be in place to prevent injury from falling and manage syncopal reactions.
