Monkeypox vaccine authorization expanded by FDA to increase dose supply
Fox News
The Food and Drug Administration updated its emergency authorization of the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine, a move it said would increase the number of available doses.
The agency said that the update will increase the total number of doses available for use by up to five-fold because intradermal administration requires a smaller dose.
In addition, the FDA's EUA also allows for use of the vaccine – administered by subcutaneous injection, or injection beneath the skin – in individuals younger than 18 years of age who are determined to be at high risk of infection.
