About

This resource provides comprehensive information on using JYNNEOS and ACAM2000 vaccines to prevent mpox. JYNNEOS is the primary vaccine used in the ongoing clade II outbreak and is recommended for individuals at risk of orthopoxvirus exposure. Healthcare providers should assess patients’ social and sexual history to determine vaccination needs. The resource outlines the use of vaccines for pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis and explains why boosters are not currently recommended for the general population.
