900Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an acute viral zoonotic disease. Neurologic manifestations of the disease range from subtle changes in behavior to serious problems, including blindness, ataxia, weakness, and movement disorders. The Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) occurs primarily in Southeast Asian. It is spread by culicine mosquitoes, most often Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Its incubation period is 5 to 15 days.In China, JE epidemic peak season is from June to August and it mainly occurred in children. JE has ranked in top ten infectious diseases according to either incidence or mortality. JE vaccines are used to protect the population especially young children and infants from encephalitis diseases. Live attenuated JE vaccines are now widely used. They are directly produced from attenuated virus which may increase the possibility of virulence reversion. Many developed countries are using purified model inactivated JE vaccine. Therefore, it is an inevitable trend in China to develop a new generation of safer and more effective inactivated vaccine to prevent and control epidemic encephalitis.

In order to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of Vero cell-derived inactivated Japanese Encephalitis vaccine produced by Shandong Hengye Biotech Co., Ltd. a single-centre phase III clinical trial is planned to conduct in healthy infants aged 6-11 months in China.
There will be two immunization programs. 600 healthy infants aged 6-11 months will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an experimental vaccine or a positive control vaccine at day 0,7. Another 300 healthy infants aged 6-11 months will be recruited to receive an experimental vaccine at day 0,28. All of them will be received a third dose as booster vaccination 12 months later.
