FDA Authorizes Intradermal Use of Jynneos Vaccine for Monkeypox

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today authorized intradermal administration of the Jynneos vaccine for the treatment of monkeypox. The process, approved specifically for high-risk patients, was passed under the administration's Emergency Use Authorization. It follows the decision on August 4 by the US Department of Health and Human Services to declare monkeypox a public health emergency. Intradermal administration will allow providers to get five doses out of a one-dose vial.
