Is there an Mpox vaccine, and how does it work? All you need to know

Have vaccines for Mpox been developed? Vaccines to protect against an Mpox infection do exist, but currently no available vaccines specifically target the monkeypox virus. Cross-reactivity between antibodies to Orthopoxvirus allows a vaccine developed to fight smallpox, for example, to also work with Mpox infections. Previous studies have suggested that the smallpox vaccine is about 85% effective in preventing monkeypox virus infection, but people who have received a smallpox vaccine seem to have milder cases of Mpox. The vaccine consists of a weakened strain of the vaccinia virus — one of the viruses from the Orthopoxvirus genus, which the monkeypox virus belongs to.
