Greetings
Yes, your son does need to get the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccine because your hometown is Lucknow.
The government hospital in Noida does not provide it because Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida) is not an endemic zone, whereas Lucknow is classified as a JE-endemic district.
Under India's National Immunization Schedule, the JE vaccine is only administered in designated high-risk endemic areas.
Since you frequently travel to Lucknow where the risk of transmission is active, it is highly recommended to complete his two-dose schedule.
You can easily get him vaccinated for free at any government health center during your next visit to Lucknow.
Alternatively, you can purchase the vaccine privately at a local clinic or hospital in Noida to ensure he is protected before you travel.
