The US government is considering a change to how physicians give monkeypox vaccines so it can make the most of the supply on hand, US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said Thursday.
Biden administration declares the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency"We're considering an approach for the current doses of Jynneos that would allow health-care providers to use an existing one-dose vial of the vaccine to administer a total of up to five separate doses," Califf said.The monkeypox vaccine is now given subcutaneously, meaning delivered below the skin.
"It's done in other situations routinely, so we're confident about the administration of the dose," he said. Dawn O'Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the US Department of Health and Human Services, said Thursday that 150,000 doses of the Jynneos vaccine would be arriving at the US Strategic National Stockpile in September -- earlier than the previously scheduled arrival month of October.
