The U.S. plans to release the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine, made by Bavarian Nordic, from its national stockpile to help prevent the virus from spreading.
Scattered outbreaks of monkeypox cases have been raising alarm, and there are plenty of questions about how people can protect themselves.
The U.S. plans to release the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine, made by Bavarian Nordic BVNKF, +13.89%, from its national stockpile to help prevent the virus from spreading. The CDC says there are more 1,000 doses available, and they expect that number to ramp up very quickly in the coming weeks.What is monkeypox? Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that occurs mostly in central and western Africa, and was first identified in lab monkeys.
“Animal-to-human transmission may occur by bite or scratch, bush meat preparation, direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, or indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated bedding,” the CDC website noted. Is monkeypox related to smallpox? The monkeypox virus belongs to a subset of the Poxviridae family of viruses called Orthopoxvirus, and that subset of viruses also includes smallpox, vaccinia and cowpox viruses.
Where has monkeypox been reported in the U.S.? U.S. monkeypox cases are very rare, according to the CDC. Who is eligible for a monkeypox vaccine? Jynneos has been licensed in the United States to prevent monkeypox and smallpox. The CDC estimates that the vaccine is at least 85% effective in preventing monkeypox. The U.S. has 1,000 doses of the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine in its national stockpile, and also has 100 million doses of the older smallpox vaccine, which could potentially be used.
