CDC Has ‘Cautious Optimism’ That Monkeypox Vaccine Is Working In At-Risk Communities

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Americans who received just one dose of the monkeypox vaccine were much less likely to be infected by the virus, according to preliminary data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday. The data — compiled from 32 states from July to September — is the first analysis released by public health officials into the vaccine’s effectiveness when monkeypox was largely spreading across LGBTQ+ communities this summer. Current guidelines suggest those at risk receive two shots 28 days apart to provide “durable, lasting immune protection.” Today, CDC posted preliminary data from 32 states that show those who were eligible and who did not receive the #monkeypox vaccine were about 14x more likely to become infected with monkeypox than those who received the monkeypox vaccine. More: https://t.co/IpSoxFdB5I pic.twitter.com/hQ1i53aiQ6 — Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH September 28, 2022 “These early findings and similar results from studies in other countries suggest that even one dose of the monkeypox vaccine offers at least some initial protection against infection,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing Wednesday. “That said, we know from laboratory studies that immune protection is highest two weeks after the second dose of vaccine.” “These new data provide us with a level of cautious optimism that the vaccine is working as intended,” she added.
