Systematic Review
How has the universal JE vaccination programme affected age-specific JEV seroprevalence over time in Korea?
The implementation of the universal JE vaccination programme in the 1980s significantly increased JEV seroprevalence in Korean children.
Choe et al. (2017) conducted a systematic review in Japanese encephalitis. Universal JE vaccination programme was evaluated on Age-specific JE virus (JEV) seroprevalence over time. The implementation of the universal Japanese encephalitis vaccination programme in the 1980s increased JEV seroprevalence in Korea, reaching 98% in children and adolescents by 2012.
