Cases Following Vaccination
Reported since the outbreak started, including clusters
Generally, most have had mild illness
–Few requiring hospitalization
–Many did not need any treatment
–Low number of lesions

Mpox Reinfection
Potential reinfection cases have been published in the literature, but only a few with convincing evidence of true reinfection
CDC is aware of <10 cases of probable reinfection
Probable reinfection cases seem to be milder than initial infection

CDC Continues to Consult on Severe Mpox Cases and
Deaths
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7144e1.htmCDC’s mpox clinical consult service continues to consult on 2-6 new cases
monthly over the last 6 months
Repeat consultations are more frequent, and include seve re cases with
infections ongoing for months
54 people have died from mpox in the United States since May 2022, with 2
just this September
Black persons, people living with HIV (mostly advanced HIV [AIDS]), and people
experiencing homelessness are disproportionately affected

Overall vaccine coverage*
1-dose: 38.8% and 2-dose: 24.3%
*Coverage is the estimated proportion who have recei ved vaccination divided by the population recommend ed to receive the vaccine,which is estimated
using 2021 data for MSM with HIV pre-exposure proph ylaxis (PrEP) indications and 2020 data for HIV pre valence among MSM from CDC AtlasPlus . These
estimates are increased by 25% to account for addit ional vaccine eligible people not captured by these data sources totaling approximately 2 million peop le.
Shift in Vaccine Administration Sites From Public Health Clinics to Medical Centers
•Public health providers administered 40% of all vaccines through Mar 2023
•Medical care providers administered an increasing proportion of vaccines since the start of the outbreak
•Pharmacies consistently provided 3-4% of all vaccines

Multi-jurisdictional Case-Control Study: Methods
–Population: Men who have sex with men; ages 18-49; 12 U.S. juri sdictions
–Time Period: August 19, 2022, to September 27, 2023
–Methods:
–Cases identified from jurisdictions’ probable and confirm ed mpox case lists
–Controls identified from healthcare settings providing HIV P rEP or sexually
transmitted infection (STI) clinics
–Demographics, immunocompromised status, exposure hi story, and
vaccination history collected using electronic surv eys
–Vaccination status confirmed by state immunization registries
–Analysis:
–VE estimated using conditional logistic regression
–Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, immunocompromising conditions
–Stratified by route of administration and immunocompromised statu s
Both partial and full vaccination with JYNNEOS showed
effectiveness against mpox, regardless of administr ation
route
*Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, immunocompromise d status, reported close contact with a
confirmed/suspected mpox case in 3 weeks prior to i ndex event
Both partial and full vaccination with JYNNEOS showed
effectiveness against mpox, regardless of administr ation
route
*Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, immunocompromise d status, reported close contact with a
confirmed/suspected mpox case in 3 weeks prior to i ndex event
VE trended higher for immunocompetent participants
compared to self-reported immunocompromised
participants
*Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, immunocompromise d status, reported close contact with a
confirmed/suspected mpox case in 3 weeks prior to i ndex event
Confidence interval remains very wide
More work is needed to understand VE in objectively confirmed immunocompromised people
JYNNEOS Vaccine Safety Monitoring
CDC vaccine safety monitoring is ongoing using two surveillance systems:
–Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)
–Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)
V-safe data collection for mpox vaccines was availa ble from
November 2022 through March 21, 2023
JYNNEOS Vaccine Safety Findings Summary
90% of VAERS reports were submitted in 2022
The adverse events most commonly reported to VAERS h ave been injection
site symptoms (redness, swelling, pain, itching)
Myocarditis and pericarditis are adverse events of specia l interest
–Observed rates are consistent with expected backgroun d rates
JYNNEOS Vaccine Safety Conclusions
VAERS and VSD data do not suggest an increased risk f or myocarditis or
pericarditis following JYNNEOS, but the possibility of a small risk cannot be
excluded
The frequencies of local and systemic reactions reported to v-safe after
mpox vaccine were similar to those reported in clinical trials
No new or unexpected safety concerns have been ident ified
Summary
Mpox cases and deaths continue to be reported domest ically and globally
Need to improve our overall vaccine coverage; <25% of t he eligible
population is fully vaccinated with 2 doses
Modeling suggests that without vaccination, transmission o f mpox will
continue with sporadic outbreaks
No new safety signals from VAERS or VSD
VE appears stable for immunocompetent people
