Mpox
Mpox is a disease caused by infection with a virus. This virus is part of the same family as the virus that causes smallpox. People with mpox often get a rash, along with other symptoms. The rash will go through several stages, including scabs, before healing. Mpox is not related to chickenpox.
JYNNEOS vaccine is approved for prevention of smallpox and Mpox. It is the primary vaccine being used in the U.S. during this outbreak.
