Overview
Countries are developing policies to define high risk groups to receive vaccines. Clinical investigations will be running to evaluate the appropriateness of vaccination to contain the outbreak[1].
Future or investigational therapies
Countries are developing policies to define high risk groups to receive vaccines. Clinical investigations will be running to evaluate the appropriateness of vaccination to contain the outbreak[1].
- Antibiral agents such as Cidofovir or Tecovirimat were evaluated only for safety but not efficacy on human models. Future trials may evaluate the drug’s effectiveness to treat humans cases of monkeypox[2][3][4].
- In 2022, most cases in non-endemic areas no travel association to endemic areas and were among men who have sex with men. It is hypothesized that monkeypox can be a sexuality transmitted disease[5][6]. The role of semen and vaginal fluids in the transmission is being investigated[7].
