When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shots caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with Japanese encephalitis is much more dangerous to your health than receiving the vaccine to protect against it.

Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
feeling light-headed, fainting; ;
high fever; ;
behavior changes; ;
seizures (black-out or convulsions); or ;
fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash. .

redness, pain, or swelling where the shot was given; ;
low fever, chills, flu symptoms; ;
headache, tired feeling; ;
muscle pain; ;
