The Danish company Bavarian Nordic plans to supply up to 2 million vaccine doses this year in response to the World Health Organization’s declaration of mpox as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) earlier this month.
Bavarian Nordic has signed a joint procurement agreement with HERA, the European Commission’s Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority, for the supply of up to 2 million doses of the Imvanex (Jynneos) monkeypox vaccine during 2023 and 2024.
Bavarian Nordic A/S has received approvals from the US and EU regulatory authorities to manufacture its Jynneos/Imvanex smallpox and monkeypox vaccine at its fill and finish facility in Denmark.
