JYNNEOS Vaccine Proven Effective Against Mpox in New Studies

Three new observational studies confirm that the Jynneos vaccine provides real-world protection against mpox, with two doses being more effective than one. The vaccine is administered through intradermal dosing, which involves injecting the vaccine between layers of skin, and requires just one-fifth of the dose. However, more work is needed to determine how well the vaccine works in immunocompromised people, how long protection lasts, and whether that varies depending on how the shots are administered. The vaccine is not a silver bullet, and officials are urging people who are at risk to get vaccinated before public events.
