Details

Leading Danish biotechnology company Bavarian Nordic has submitted clinical data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to expand the approval of its monkeypox vaccine (Mpox).

Interim results of the clinical trial indicate no differences in immune responses to smallpox and smallpox vaccine in adolescents and a safety profile similar to that of adults

- the statement said.

Currently, the use of the vaccine is limited to adults, according to the Handelsblatt newspaper. However, according to Bavarian Nordic CEO Paul Chaplin, the company is seeking to expand the scope of the vaccine to 12-17-year-olds.

“Children and adolescents are disproportionately affected by chickenpox during the ongoing epidemic in Africa, underscoring the importance and urgency of expanding access to vaccines and treatment for this vulnerable population,” Paul Chaplin, CEO of Bavarian Nordic, said in a statement.

Recall

The African Union Health Agency has declared a "public health emergency" due to the smallpox epidemicthat has swept the continent.

At present, the strong rebound of the disease in Africa is mainly due to a new strain, clade 1b, which is more contagious and dangerous than the previous ones.
