Japanese Encephalitis is a standard vaccine in most of Asia for a reason. My kids got it in Taiwan and I trust Taiwan a fuck of a lot more than I do the Philippines. You do you, but if you can avoid a deadly disease with a couple of needles, well...
I’d trust Taiwan more than the Philippines also! I’ve lived in Singapore for almost 25 years. Three of my kids were born there. I traveled extensively throughout Asia and it was never raised as a requirement or an issue. I think we’ve discussed this before. I’ll look into it since I’m moving my main residence from Singapore to Indonesia early next year.
The problem with the JE vaccine is it is only effective for about two years. And it takes 3-shots at 0-days, 30-days, and 6-months or something like that. At least it used to. I've heard there is now a better one that only takes two shots.
I've had it half-a-dozen times. It is not a big deal to me. Obviously my company pays for mine. But the travel vac places nail honeymooners with $400 per person bills for this vaccine when they intend to do nothing but fuck for a week in a 5-star resort and come home.
Great story. Once this travel ban crap is lifted I’m off to SE Asia. Never had to have the JE shot but your story seems so relatable.

Except you're wrong regarding the method of transmission. It not a tick, it's mosquito borne. Mosquitoes fly.
Hmmm... Apparently I be dead wrong about the ticks. I could have sworn.... Mosquitos it is.
