Germany ordered 40,000 vaccinations as monkeypox cases increased

Employees of the vaccine company Bavarian Nordic work in the company’s laboratories.

Germany has ordered 40,000 doses of Bavarian Scandinavian vaccine to prepare contacts of people infected with monkeypox if the outbreak in Germany becomes more serious, but authorities are now. However, we are working on other precautionary measures.

Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said at a news conference on Tuesday that measures such as the recommended quarantine period of at least 21 days for infected people are currently sufficient to contain the outbreak.

“If the infection spreads further, it is not yet recommended at this time, but we would like to prepare for a siege that may be needed,” he said, referring to strategies for vaccination of infected contacts. Then Rotorbach said.

He said he was able to contain the outbreak of monkeypox and did not suggest the start of a new pandemic, adding that early intervention could prevent the pathogen from becoming firmly established in the community.

Lothar Wieler, director of the Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Diseases in Germany, said at a news conference that five cases have been registered in Germany so far.

World Health Organization officials released similar guidance on Monday, stating that outbreaks do not require mass vaccination, as measures such as hygiene and safe sexual behavior can help curb the epidemic.

WHO has registered more than 250 confirmed and suspected monkeypox infections and has a geographical spread that is endemic in some parts of West Africa and Central Africa but rare in other parts of the world. .. Many, but not all, cases have been reported in men who have sex with men, and WHO specifically targets sexual communication.

U.S. health officials said this week that the country’s stockpile has received more than 1,000 Bavarian Scandinavian vaccines and expects levels to rise rapidly in the coming weeks.

This vaccine is branded Jynneos in the United States, which is approved for use against smallpox and monkeypox. It is also approved for smallpox in Europe and is called Imvanex, but it is offered for off-label use for cases of monkeypox.

The Danish company said last week that it had secured a contract with a private European country to supply Imvanex in response to a new case of monkeypox.
