CDC advisers vote in favor of using mpox vaccine in future outbreaks


The independent vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously Wednesday in favor of the two-dose Jynneos mpox vaccine for adults at risk of catching the disease during an outbreak.

If the CDC agrees with the committee’s recommendation, there will be a recommendation in place to give the vaccine to people who are at risk for mpox during future outbreaks.
