The booster dose should be given preferably 1 year after the first vaccination and can be given up to 2 years after the first vaccination.
One 0.5 mL dose of IMOJEV can also be given as a booster vaccination in children who were previously given inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine for primary vaccination, in accordance with the recommended timing for the booster of the inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine.
*Immunity is maintained at a high level at least 4 years after the booster dose regardless the vaccine used for first vaccination.
In adults, there is no need for a booster dose after 5 years after the administration of a single dose of IMOJEV.
Once the freeze-dried vaccine has been completely reconstituted using the diluent provided (see Instructions for use under Cautions for Usage), it is administered via the subcutaneous route.
