CDC Advises Routine Use of Mpox Vaccine for High-Risk Individuals
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has unanimously voted to recommend routine use of the Jynneos vaccine for individuals at high risk of mpox infection, including men who have sex with men. This recommendation extends beyond the recent public health emergency and aims to make vaccination a routine part of sexual health care for high-risk individuals. The CDC Director must now approve the recommendations. Over 31,000 Americans were diagnosed with mpox during the recent outbreak, with most cases occurring among gay men. The new recommendations could make over 2 million people eligible for vaccination, and the manufacturer of Jynneos is preparing for a commercial launch in the US.
