The Danish lab, which produces the only approved monkeypox vaccine, announced on Wednesday an agreement with World Health Organization (WHO) to facilitate its distribution in Latin America and the Caribbean.
“Vaccine deliveries will begin in September,” the Bavarian Scandinavian lab said in a statement after reaching an agreement.
document signed with Pan American Health OrganizationWHO PAHO Regional Office for the Americas, seeks to “facilitate equal access to the company’s vaccine against monkeypox in Latin America and the Caribbean,” the lab said in a statement.
Initially limited to central and western Africa, monkeypox had spread to other parts of the world since May, especially Europe and the United States, with a total of 40,000 cases reported by the end of August.
Sold by Bavarian Nordic under the name Jynneos in North America and Imvanex in Europeit is a vaccine against human smallpox, a deadly disease eradicated in 1980, that is currently used against monkeypox.
The term monkeypox was coined after the virus was discovered in 1958 in monkeys in a laboratory in Denmarkbut the virus has also been found in other animals, especially rodents.
The disease was first identified in humans in 1970, but is less dangerous and contagious than its sister smallpox.
The virus can be transmitted from animals to humans, but a recent spike in cases has been associated with human-to-human transmission through close contact.
Brazil approves vaccines without registration
Brazil’s National Sanitary Inspection Agency (Anvisa) a few weeks ago authorized the “exceptional and temporary nature” of the importation of vaccines and medicines against monkeypox who are not yet registered in the country.
The regulator’s collegiate leadership unanimously decided to approve a rule to “accelerate public access to vaccines and drugs” against monkeypox, which, according to the latest bulletin Ministry of Health careregistered until August 18, 3450 confirmed cases and 4491 in the analysis.
The experts agreed to name the current version
A group of global experts convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) has agreed on new names for monkeypox virus variants as part of an ongoing effort to harmonize the names of the disease, the virus and its variations.
Scholars have agreed to call the variants Roman numerals. Thus they reached a consensus to now call the old Congo Basin (Central Africa) one (I) and the old West African two (II). In addition, it was decided that clade (variant) II consists of two subclades.
Monkeypox virus was named after its first discovery in 1958, before modern advanced disease and virus naming techniques were adopted. The same goes for the name of the disease it causes.
