[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would we reintroduce the smallpox vaccine when there’s a perfectly adequate monkeypox specific vaccine. It’scurrently available to people who are at high risk of exposure and they will presumably begin ramping up production to make it more generally accessible soon.[/quote] Correct. There is the traditional smallpox vaccine which is harder to administer and has more risk of serious complications. It was developed and approved only for smallpox. Then there is the Jynneos vaccine which is specifically approved as a monkeypox and smallpox vaccine. Less complications as well and easier to administer. It was introduced a few years ago (2019). However it is only made by one small company in Europe and was previously basically a niche item . They’ve opened new production facilities but it’s going to take time to ramp up. [/quote]
