Ixiaro: Boosters and Patients Younger than 17
The 12/7/2011 Japanese encephalitis VIS advises patients to ask their doctor if they want additional information about either vaccination of patients younger than 17 years of age (for which Ixiaro is not licensed) or the need for booster doses.
Information on these topics may be found in MMWR articles published in 2011:
- Recommendations for Use of a Booster Dose of Inactivated Vero Cell Culture-Derived Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine [i.e., Ixiaro] — Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, 2011
- Update on Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine for Children — United States, May 2011
