Hello JE vaccines are included in government immunisation schedules in endemic areas. Since areas Of UP are endemic it is included there and not in Noida. If you are travelling to UP you can get vaccinated in govt hospital and in Noida you can get it in private sector.

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.

Yes, if your child will continue to live in or regularly visit Lucknow (or other Japanese encephalitis-endemic areas), it is advisable to get the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccine as per the schedule mentioned on the vaccination card. JE vaccine is included in the Government immunization program only in selected endemic districts, so it may not be offered routinely in Noida. This is why the Noida government hospital did not administer it. If your child is 9 months or older and has not yet received the JE vaccine, you can get it during your next visit to Lucknow.
