The U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use
authorization (EUA) for the JYNNEOS vaccine. The EUA allows healthcare
providers to administer the vaccine by intradermal injection for individuals 18
years of age and older who are at high risk for monkeypox infection, which will
result in up to a five-fold increase in the total number of doses available for
use. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
released Interim
Clinical Considerations for Use of JYNNEOS and ACAM2000 Vaccines during the
2022 U.S. Monkeypox Outbreak that provides guidance for using the
alternative (intradermal) regimen, as well as the standard (subcutaneous)
regimen for JYNNEOS vaccine.
CDC will be hosting a COCA call TOMORROW, Thursday August
11, 2022 from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Presenters from FDA and CDC will provide
updates on FDA’s EUA of the JYNNEOS vaccine and CDC’s Interim Clinical
Considerations for using the JYNNEOS and ACAM2000 Vaccines during the 2022 U.S.
Monkeypox Outbreak. Presenters will also provide training on how to administer
the vaccines using the interim clinical considerations.
