Smallpox vaccine Jynneos also seems to work against monkeypox.
A combined 800,000 first and second doses have been distributed so far throughout the country, White House National Monkeypox Response Coordinator Bob Fenton said during the same briefing, theSo far, there have been over 25,500 reported monkeypox infections in the United States during the current outbreak. The virus is primarily being spread among men who have sex with men, although anyone can get it.
Cases are now declining in the United States, but racial disparities are growing. About 47% of new cases reported during the week of Sept. 11 involved Black patients. While there had been no evidence about how the Jynneos vaccine would work for monkeypox, the 32 states that had monkeypox cases between July 31 and Sept. 3 provided that information.
The upshot? Unvaccinated men ages 18 to 49 who were eligible for the vaccine were 14 times more likely to get an infection when compared to men who had one dose two or more weeks before, according to the CDC. Lab studies have shown people could have still more immunity after a second dose, Walensky said, calling that second shot “really important.”By Cara Murez and Robin Foster HealthDay Reporters
