The independent vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have voted unanimously in favor of the two-dose Jynneos mpox vaccine for adults at risk of catching the disease during an outbreak
If the CDC agrees with the committee’s recommendation, there will be a recommendation in place to give the vaccine to people who are at risk for mpox during future outbreaks. The number of new cases of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, has fallen significantly in the US since the peak of the most recent outbreak in August.
The most common complaints were redness at the injection site and fatigue. Even as mpox cases continue to fall, the CDC is encouraging people who are at risk to get vaccinated. “We do not think that this outbreak is over, and that’s very important to keep in mind,” said Dr. Agam Rao, medical officer in the CDC’s Division of High Consequence Pathogens and Pathology. There’s also a possibility of future outbreaks, she said.
