U.S. officials announced they will modify dosing instructions for the shot to help stretch the monkeypox vaccine supply.
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 10, 2022 -- As at-risk Americans stand in long lines across the country, trying to get the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine, U.S. officials on Tuesday announced they will modify dosing instructions for the shot to help stretch the supply.
"In recent weeks the monkeypox virus has continued to spread at a rate that has made it clear our current vaccine supply will not meet the current demand," FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in the statement."The FDA quickly explored other scientifically appropriate options to facilitate access to the vaccine for all impacted individuals.
"Data from a 2015 clinical study of the MVA vaccine evaluated a two-dose series given intradermally compared to subcutaneously," the agency explained."Individuals who received the vaccine intradermally received a lower volume than individuals who received the vaccine subcutaneously."
