Representational imageDanish drugmaker Bavarian Nordic said Friday it was seeking European approval to use its mpox vaccine in children aged 12 to 17, after the WHO declared the current virus surge a global public health emergency.
The World Health Organization this week declared the rapid spread of the new, more dangerous mpox strain, dubbed Clade 1b, a public health emergency of international concern -- the highest alarm the UN agency can sound.
The company said it had presented the European Medicines Agency with clinical data from a study which showed"non-inferiority of immune responses from mpox/smallpox vaccination in adolescents and similar safety profile compared to adults." The US Food and Drug Administration granted the vaccine an"emergency use authorisation" for adolescents during the 2022 global mpox outbreak.Sweden and Pakistan have this week reported the first cases of the virus outside of Africa, with the WHO warning further imported cases of the new strain in Europe were likely.
The infectious disease is caused by a virus transmitted to humans by animals but can also spread human-to-human through close physical contact.On Thursday, Bavarian Nordic said it was ready to produce 10 million vaccine doses by 2025 but was waiting for countries to place orders.
