Here I give a brief overview of how the vaccine against #Monkeypox works.
This vaccine is under various brand names including JYNNEOS (US), IMVANEX (EU), and IMVAMUNE (Canada) which is made by the company Bavarian Nordic.

Remember that this is a two dose series, 4 weeks apart. Maximum immunity is achieved 2 weeks after your second dose.
The vaccine has been approved for those pregnant or breast-feeding, 18 years or older.
