CDC Advisory Committee Recommends MPOX Vaccine for High-Risk Men

United States of America
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended the MPOX vaccine for high-risk men.
The MPOX vaccine was developed by Bavarian Nordic.
The recommendation was based on the vaccine's efficacy and safety data.

On October 26, 2023, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended the use of the MPOX vaccine for high-risk men. The MPOX vaccine, developed by Bavarian Nordic, is designed to prevent the spread of the MPOX virus, a highly contagious disease. The ACIP's recommendation was based on the vaccine's efficacy and safety data. The committee's decision was not unanimous, with some members expressing concerns about the vaccine's potential side effects. However, the majority of the committee members agreed that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the potential risks for high-risk men. The CDC will consider the ACIP's recommendation in its final decision on the use of the MPOX vaccine.
