The burden of Japanese encephalitis, the catch-up vaccination campaign, and health service providers’ perceptions in Myanmar: 2012–2017

Abstract

The catch-up vaccination campaign was a successful response to high JE case numbers and deaths in children. However, ongoing surveillance for JE needs to continue and be strengthened to ensure comprehensive reporting of all cases, more knowledge is needed on disability in JE survivors, and all attempts must be made to ensure high percentage coverage of vaccination through routine and catch-up campaigns.
