During the Korean War, allied forces were accused of dropping on North Korea insects that were capable of spreading plague, typhus, malaria, Japanese B encephalitis, and other diseases. No evidence exists to support such claims.32... 

Thus poly I C is a toxic but efficient inducer of an antiviral state. It is effective in animal models against such serious human infections as rabies [117] and Japanese B encephalitis [118] and could possibly be used to treat such life-threatening infections in humans, but for general use in minor infections it appears at the present time to be far too toxic.

An official history of the US Army s work in preventing communicable diseases suggests that this vaccine went untried on humans, but this cannot be entirely correct.

Preventive Medicine in World War II, Vol. VI Communicable Diseases, Malaria (Washington, DC Office of the Surgeon General, Department of the Army 1963) p. 495. At the very least, one could say that the Japanese B encephalitis vaccine had limited clinical or experimental trial data in 1945.

Viral vaccines less generally available than those listed in die table include Congo Crimean haemorrhagic fever vaccine, dengue fever vaccine, Japanese encephalitis B vaccine, smallpox vaccine, tick borne encephalitis vaccine, and Venezuelan encephalitis vaccine. 

Whilst not recommended for routine administration, vaeoines additional to those represented in the juvenile programme are available for individuals in special risk categories. These categories relate to oeeupational risks or risks associated with travel abroad. Such immunization protocols include those directed against cholera, typhoid, meningitis (types A, C), anthrax, hepatitis A and B, influenza, Japanese encephahtis, rabies, tick-borne encephalitis, and yellow fever.
