"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.

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.

"Get Vaccinated: NY and IL Launch Mpox Awareness Campaigns"

Health officials in New York have launched a statewide campaign to encourage residents to complete their mpox vaccine in order to prevent another outbreak ahead of summer. The campaign includes digital ads, posters, and social media posts. Mpox is a rare viral infection that spreads through close physical contact, and symptoms include a rash, fever, and respiratory symptoms. The current outbreak has been associated largely with men who identify as gay or bisexual and have sex with other men, transgender individuals, and others. Vaccination involves two doses, with four weeks between each dose.
