At a glance

During this COCA Call, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention experts will review recommendations for mpox testing, vaccination, treatment, and prevention. With new mpox cases occurring in some people who are vaccinated, it is important that clinicians quickly identify cases to limit a possible mpox resurgence this summer in the United States.

Webinar

The fully captioned video and edited transcript will be posted within the next few days. Please note that a correction was made to the JYNNEOS Vaccine Efficacy table slide post-call. VE for 2 doses in the New York state case-control study was corrected from 76% to 89%. We have updated the slides but the recording still contains the outdated number.
