"Bavarian Nordic Shifts Focus to Infectious Diseases, Abandons Cancer Vaccine Development"

Bavarian Nordic has decided to shift its focus from immuno-oncology vaccine development to infectious disease research and development, discontinuing its Phase I cancer vaccine program in favor of concentrating on its mpox vaccine Jynneos, which is expected to contribute to the company's strong 2023 sales. The Danish biotech's TAEK-VAC, a cancer vaccine targeting a tumor-associated antigen, was being studied in patients with chordoma or HER2-positive breast cancer.

"CDC Urges 2 Million Americans to Receive MPOX Vaccine"

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that up to 2 million Americans, primarily gay men and healthcare workers, receive the mpox vaccine routinely to reduce the risk of contracting the disease. Currently, the CDC only recommends vaccination during outbreaks. The FDA has already approved Bavarian Nordic's JYNNEOS vaccine for preventing smallpox and mpox. The final decision will be made by CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen. Last year, during a global outbreak, vaccines were scarce, but efforts were made to provide 2.5 million doses to the public, with about 23% of the recommended individuals receiving the vaccine.

Bavarian Nordic emphasizes smallpox preparation after Mpox outbreak.

The maker of the mpox vaccine, Bavarian Nordic, is looking to increase its production capacity to prepare for a potential threat from smallpox. The company plans to simplify its production process to scale up production capacity to hundreds of millions of doses in the event of an emergency. The European Union's Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority and at least two European national governments have shown interest in stockpiling the Jynneos vaccine for use against smallpox. Bavarian Nordic's current production capacity is tens of millions of doses, which would not be sufficient to deal with a widespread outbreak of smallpox.
