Japanese encephalitis is quite common throughout India now. This vaccine is given in government hospitals also in many states. Please do take it. Meningococcus bacteria causes many serious infections like meningitis and sepsis. That is a little rare but life threatening. You should take it if you can afford to. We need all the protection we can get

Yes take it. Because Japanese encephalitis is a deadly disease, so is meningococcal meningitis. It is better to immunize if vaccine is available.
