The independent vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously Wednesday in favor of the two-dose Jynneos mpox vaccine for adults at risk of catching the disease during an outbreak.
“We have a very effective vaccine,” said committee member Dr. Jamie Loehr, owner of Cayuga Family Medicine in Ithaca, New York. “We’ve got good data. In 2021, the committee voted in favor of the Jynneos vaccine for people with occupational risks of virus exposure. In August, during the height of the outbreak, the vaccine got emergency use authorization to help prevent further illness.Although the effectiveness of the vaccine was never demonstrated in clinical trials for mpox, studies during the outbreak showed that it was up to 83% effective, the CDC said.
“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 actually been a re-emergence of human cases after decades of no reported cases in some countries,” Rao added.
