With cases of monkeypox inexplicably on the rise outside of Africa - where the viral disease is endemic - public health officials are using contact tracing, isolation and targeted vaccination to curb its spread.
It has U.S. approval for the prevention of both smallpox and monkeypox. European Union approval is for smallpox, although doctors can prescribe it off-label for monkeypox. Bavarian Nordic said it would probably apply for a label extension with the EU's drug watchdog to include monkeypox. It is also not designed to be used in certain groups of people, such as those with compromised immune systems.
Another drug, branded as Tembexa and developed by Chimerix, has U.S. approval to treat smallpox. It is not clear whether it could help people infected with monkeypox. U.S. officials say there are more than 1,000 doses of the Bavarian Nordic vaccine in the national stockpile and expect that level to ramp up very quickly in the coming weeks. The country also has 100 million doses of ACAM2000.
None yet but it won't take them long to capitalize on your fear. They will have a vaccine soon. Don't worry everyone.
CTV really? Are you guys nuts? Give Monkeypox a rest and stop scaring people. There are many other real stories you can manufacture.
I hope there's like 600 million vaccines, I'd hate to see this disrupt local buisness.
Turn off for starters!
