"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 Advisers Recommend 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.

Monkeypox Cases Reported in Minnesota and Milwaukee

The Minnesota Department of Health has reported two cases of monkeypox in adults in Hennepin County, the first cases since 2022. Health officials emphasize the importance of vaccinations, particularly for those at elevated risk, such as gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. The JYNNEOS vaccine is available and can significantly decrease the chance of infection and prevent serious illness. Health officials will be working with community partners to promote and offer vaccinations at various events this summer.

New studies confirm: 2 doses of Jynneos vaccine up to 86% effective against mpox.

Three new studies show that two doses of the Jynneos mpox vaccine are much more effective than just one, with vaccine effectiveness ranging from 66% to 86% for two doses and 36% to 75% for one dose. The studies follow an outbreak of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, that spread across multiple countries last year, resulting in more than 30,000 cases in the United States, disproportionately affecting gay and bisexual men. Officials at the CDC are now urging people who have not completed their second dose of the Jynneos vaccine to do so, ahead of this summer.
