GUWAHATI: Four more districts of the state will be covered by the Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine campaign for adults (15-65 years) from the second week of February. The four districts - Morigaon, Nalbari, Bongaigaon and Cachar - are vulnerable to JE.
With this, a total of 18 districts in the state will be covered under the programme.
...
Till December 31, 2016, the state witnessed 92 JE deaths. It recorded the maximum number of deaths as compared to other endemic states like Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal which saw 42, 73 and 30 deaths, respectively. In the same period, Assam also reported 427 JE and 1,713 AES cases.
Comment: Assam also saw 187 AES deaths. It is likely that at least some of these were also JE. - Ro
