WHO Approves Japan's LC16m8 Vaccine for Emergency Use Against Mpox; Japan to Donate 3M Doses
Nov 19, 2024, 09:31 PM
The World Health Organization (WHO) has granted emergency use listing to Japan's LC16m8 mpox vaccine, developed by KM Biologics, a subsidiary of the Meiji Group. This approval marks the second mpox vaccine to receive WHO's emergency use authorization, following Jynneos by Bavarian Nordic and ACAM2000 by Emergent BioSolutions. The listing facilitates the use of the vaccine, especially in regions like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where Japan has committed to donating 3 million doses. The vaccine is particularly beneficial for younger children who are vulnerable to infections from household contact.
