Overview
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends ACAM2000 or JYNNEOS as pre-exposure prophylaxis to individuals at risk of exposure to monkeypox on basis of an occupational assessment[1].
Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
There is no specific vaccine against monkeypox. Previous evidence showed that smallpox vaccine, which was administered to eradicate smallpox, provides cross-protection that is at least 85% effective in preventing monkeypox[2].
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends ACAM2000 or JYNNEOS as pre-exposure prophylaxis to individuals at risk of exposure to monkeypox on basis of an occupational assessment[1].
- ACAM2000 is an FDA approved active immunization against smallpox disease for persons determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection[3].
- JYNNEOS (MVA-BN), also known as Imvamune or Imvanex, is an FDA approved vaccine to prevent monkeypox and smallpox in adults 18 years of age and older determined to be at high risk for smallpox or monkeypox infection[4].
In the UK, the UK Health Security Agent, in line with the UK Green Book "Immunization against Infectious Disease" policy, recommend JYNNEOS as pre-exposure therapy to individuals at risk of exposure on the basis of an occupational health assessment[5].
- Pre-exposure vaccination with 2 doses of JYNNEOS with a minimum interval of 28 days[5]
