Most days we wake up with this important question bouncing around our brains, and most days we have to ask Paul the Octopus, ‘Should i get japanese encephalitis vaccine?’ Paul usually likes to answer with a question, ‘but why would you need the vaccine when you’re not even travelling overseas?’ No Paul you idiot, they are travelling overseas, and mainly they’re worried about how creepy and Walking Dead-ish Japanese Encephalitis sounds because it can involve brain swelling, coma, and even death if it progresses to later stages of symptoms. Well, let Paul tell you ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (but take our advice, unless you live under water or beyond the grave like Paul and can thus avoid mosquitoes entirely, just take thr damn vaccine).
