The ministry did not name the company or the vaccine; however, Jynneos - made by Danish company Bavarian Nordic - is the only vaccine developed for monkeypox. The vaccines will be delivered in the coming weeks and will be available to "at-risk" populations first.
“The Health Ministry calls on those who develop a fever or blistering, or have been in close contact with someone suspected of being sick with monkeypox, to speak to a doctor,” the ministry said in a statement, noting it was closely monitoring the situation.
