Limited testing, a delayed FDA inspection and technical issues with online appointments have likely helped the virus take hold in the U.S.
Bavarian Nordic, which makes Jynneos, is prepared to ship 1.1. million doses to the U.S. But the Food and Drug Administration needed to inspect the company’s manufacturing facility before those doses could be released. That inspection was originally planned for later this year but the FDA moved it up in response to the monkeypox outbreak, said Rolf Sass Sørensen, vice president of investor relations and communications at Bavarian Nordic.
That made sense when states were only seeing a few cases each, Mangla said, but it may have amounted to an unrefined system that failed to prioritize areas with the most cases. In a Monday letter, New York Mayor Eric Adams asked President Joe Biden to allocate more doses to the city and to extend the time period between first and second doses to allow more shots to go into arms. Adams expressed frustration at not knowing how many doses the city would receive in the future.
But a lack of good demographic data about people getting tested for monkeypox has undermined the ability to target vaccination efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
