European Countries Step Up Efforts To Tackle Monkeypox

The UK says a “proportionate” approach to tackling monkeypox is needed, and that Imvanex is now available for vaccination. France has issued a decree authorizing the use of Imvanex and the importation of its US equivalent, Jynneos, and Germany has ordered thousands of doses of the vaccine. SIGA’s antiviral tecovirimat can also be used for monkeypox in the EU.
