The purpose of this study is to describe the immunogenicity and safety of IMOJEV® in adult and pediatric populations in Vietnam and serve a bridging study to compare immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety data obtained with IMOJEV® in the Vietnamese population with data from other Asian pediatric populations.
Primary objective:
- To describe the safety profile of a single dose of IMOJEV®.
Secondary objectives:
- To evaluate the immune response to JE 28 days after the administration of a single dose of IMOJEV® in healthy Vietnamese subjects aged from 9 months to 60 years.

- Number of Participants With Solicited Injection Site Reactions and Systemic Events Following a Single Primary Dose of a Live Attenuated Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (IMOJEV®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 14 post-vaccination ]
Solicited injection-site: ≤ 23 months age: Tenderness, Erythema, and Swelling. For ≥ 2 years age: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: ≤ 23 months age, Fever (temperature) Vomiting, Crying abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite loss, Irritability, For ≥ 2 years age, Fever (temperature) Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia.
Grade 3: Tenderness, Cries when injected limb is moved; Pain, Incapacitating, unable to perform usual activities or Significant; prevents daily activity (≥ 12 years); Erythema and Swelling (≤23 months to 11 years), ≥50 mm or >100 mm (≥ 12 years).
Grade 3 Fever, > 39.5°C (≤ 23 months) or ≥39.0°C (≥ 2 years); Vomiting, ≥ 6 episodes per 24 hours; Crying abnormal, > 3 hours; Drowsiness, Sleeping most of the time; Appetite loss, Refuses ≥ 3 feeds / meals; Irritability, Inconsolable. Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia, Significant; prevents daily activity.
- Percentage of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroprotection Following a Single Primary Dose of a Live Attenuated Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (IMOJEV®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Neutralizing antibodies were measured using a Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus (JE CV) 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroprotection was defined as antibody titer levels ≥10 (1/dil).
- Percentage of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroconversion Following a Single Primary Dose of a Live Attenuated Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (IMOJEV®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Neutralizing antibodies were measured using a Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus (JE CV) 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroconversion was defined as participants with a pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dil) and post-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dil) or participants with pre vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dil) and a ≥4-fold increase from pre- to post-vaccination.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of Japanese Encephalitis Antibodies Following a Single Primary Dose of a Live Attenuated Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (IMOJEV®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Neutralizing antibodies were measured using a Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus (JE CV) 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50).

Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged 9 months through 60 years on the day of inclusion.
- For adults: Informed consent form has been signed and dated by the subject. For minors: Informed consent form has been signed and dated by the parent or legally acceptable representative. In addition, in accordance with the Institution Ethics Committee / Institution Review Board requirements and as appropriate for the age of the subject, the subject may be required to sign and date the informed consent form if aged 12 to 17 years or assent form if aged 8 to 11 years.
- Subject and parent(s)/legally acceptable representative(s) are able to attend all scheduled visits and comply with all study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria:

- Receipt of any chronic anti-viral in the 2 months preceding the study vaccination or planned receipt of any anti-viral in the 4 weeks following the study vaccination. Short-term antiviral drugs for flu or herpes can be administered provided there is a wash-out period of 1 week before the administration of the vaccine.
