Bavarian Nordic said Tuesday it will give 75,000 doses of its MVA-BN mpox vaccine to a new global emergency stockpile, Reuters reported, citing a company statement from Copenhagen1.
The donation is in addition to a contract for 150,000 doses for the same reserve, according to the Reuters account of the statement1.
The stockpile is run by the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision, a mechanism hosted by the World Health Organization, Reuters reported1.
The company called the stockpile a milestone for outbreak preparedness, Reuters said1. Mpox is a viral illness that can cause fever and skin lesions and spreads through close contact1.
