&nbsp;
Los Angeles County health officials are reporting a significant uptick in mpox cases, prompting renewed calls for vaccination among&nbsp;high-risk&nbsp;groups.
The County's Department of Public Health announced that 52 mpox cases were reported in the past four weeks, compared to 24 in the previous&nbsp;four-week&nbsp;period.&nbsp;
About 70% of new cases in the last six months occurred in&nbsp;unvaccinated&nbsp;individuals.
Health officials strongly recommend vaccination for several high-risk groups, including men and transgender people who have sex with men or transgender persons, persons of any gender or sexual orientation who have sex or intimate physical contact with others in association with large public events or engage in commercial and/or transactional sex, and those living&nbsp;with&nbsp;HIV.
"Vaccination is an important tool in preventing the spread of mpox," the County health department said in a statement. The two-dose JYNNEOS vaccine is available at pharmacies for insured residents and at Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Clinics for free&nbsp;without&nbsp;appointments.
Officials advise residents to practice safe sex, limit sexual partners, and avoid intimate contact with anyone showing mpox symptoms, which include rash, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Additional prevention measures include asking partners about symptoms, reducing the number of partners, and proper use of condoms&nbsp;and&nbsp;gloves.
The County emphasizes the importance of testing for those who develop symptoms consistent with mpox. The Department of Public Health is collaborating with healthcare providers and community organizations to intensify surveillance, contact tracing, and outbreak investigations to&nbsp;curb&nbsp;transmission.
Mpox, previously referred to as Monkeypox, is mainly spread through close physical contact. Residents seeking more information can visit<a href="http://ph.lacounty.gov/mpox"> ph.lacounty.gov/mpox</a> or call the Department of Public Health Call Center&nbsp;at&nbsp;1-833-540-0473.

Biden On Sudan Says End This War Now; Let's Move Quickly To Face Mpox Outbreak In Africa

CDC Says No Cases Of Clade IA Mpox Have Been Reported Outside Central African Countries Where Clade IA MPVX Is Endemic

<a href="https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/ema-recommends-extending-indication-mpox-vaccine-adolescents#:~:text=EMA%20has%20recommended%20extending%20the,the%20vaccinia%20virus%20in%20adults.">https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/ema-recommends-extending-indication-mpox-vaccine-adolescents#:~:text=EMA%20has%20recommended%20extending%20the,the%20vaccinia%20virus%20in%20adults.</a>
&nbsp;
EMA has recommended extending the indication of the smallpox and mpox vaccine <a href="https://www.ema.europa.eu/node/65501">Imvanex</a> to adolescents from 12 to 17 years of age.
Imvanex is already authorised in the European Union (EU) to protect against smallpox, mpox and the disease caused by the vaccinia virus in adults. It contains a live, highly weakened form of a virus called "modified vaccinia virus Ankara" (MVA-BN), which is related to the smallpox virus. EMA's human medicines committee (CHMP) based the recommendation to extend the use of Imvanex to adolescents on the <a href="https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05740982">interim results of a study</a> that compared the vaccine's ability to generate an immune response (produce virus-specific antibodies) in 315 adolescents and in 211 adults.
The immune response in adolescents was similar to adults. Therefore, it is inferred that the vaccine will provide similar protection in adolescents to that expected in adults. According to the submitted data, the safety profile of Imvanex in adolescents was comparable to that seen in adults and no additional risk has been identified. As part of its recommendation, EMA has requested the marketing authorisation holder to submit the final results of the study by 30 May 2025 to further characterise the information about safety in adolescents.
The Agency's assessment has important implications for the global response to the mpox outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other countries, which was <a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/14-08-2024-who-director-general-declares-mpox-outbreak-a-public-health-emergency-of-international-concern">declared a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC)</a> by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 14 August 2024.
EMA is the regulatory agency of record for <a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/13-09-2024-who-prequalifies-the-first-vaccine-against-mpox">prequalification of this vaccine by WHO</a> on 13 September 2024. This means that CHMP's assessment constitutes the basis for WHO prequalification approval to facilitate timely and increased access to this vaccine in communities with urgent need. Previously, EMA's assessment was also taken into account by the national regulatory authority of the DRC in the fast-track approval of the vaccine. In addition, WHO has cooperated in EMA's assessment of the extension of indication in adolescents, a population that is particularly vulnerable to mpox.
Mpox is a disease that is transmitted to people by animals, mainly rodents, but can also spread between people with direct contact. It is endemic in certain parts of Central and West Africa. The current surge in cases in the DRC and several neighbouring countries is driven by the mpox clade I strain that is known to cause a more severe form of mpox in humans than the mpox clade II strain that spread during the 2022/2023 PHEIC. Mpox can be fatal for people with weak immune systems.
Data indicate that Imvanex protects against both the clade I and clade II mpox strains.
In the EU, decisions on how vaccinations should be given are the prerogative of the expert bodies guiding vaccination campaigns in each Member State. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) <a href="https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/infectious-disease-topics/mpox/rapid-scientific-advice-public-health-measures-mpox-2024">published advice for public health authorities for mpox</a> on their website.

CDC Says There Have Been No Reported Cases Of Clade I Mpox In The U.S. As Of September 6; In The U.S., Clade II Mpox Is Still Circulating At Low Levels

<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/us-prepares-possible-arrival-severe-strain-mpox-rcna169926">https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/us-prepares-possible-arrival-severe-strain-mpox-rcna169926</a>
&nbsp;
Senior Biden administration officials said Friday that the United States is preparing for the possible arrival of <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/mpox-strain-spreads-cdc-who-stronger-warnings-rcna165155">a more severe version of mpox</a>, which has taken off in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other countries in Africa resulting in more than 600 deaths there.
As of Thursday, there have been more than 24,800 reported cases of this version of the virus, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/mpox-virus-outbreak-symptoms-2024-spread-rcna166778">known as clade 1</a>, so far this year, the World Health Organization said at a separate briefing Friday.&nbsp;The WHO declared the outbreak a<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/who-declares-mpox-global-public-health-emergency-second-time-rcna166601"> global health emergency</a> in August.
Last month,<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/sweden-confirms-first-case-mpox-strain-congo-rcna166763"> Sweden confirmed a case of clade 1</a>, the first known case outside of Africa, followed by a case in Thailand several days later. Both patients had spent time in Africa.
A different version of mpox, clade 2, triggered a global outbreak in 2022 and a surge of cases in the U.S. Clade 1 is more severe and can kill up to 10% of people infected, though recent death rates have been around 1% to 3.3%, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/about/index.html">according to the CDC.</a>
On a call with reporters, senior administration officials said that as infections have risen in Africa, the U.S. has been gearing up for its own cases.&nbsp;
"We've been preparing for the arrival of clade 1 in the United States for many months now, especially as we saw the outbreak in DRC and neighboring countries accelerate," one official said.
The government is expanding its mpox surveillance efforts, primarily through wastewater analysis, and is reaching out to the medical community to educate members on what to watch for, including the severity of clade 1 and how it spreads, according to officials.
Officials said they're also making sure testing is more widely available.
Any doctor in the U.S. can order an mpox test that can be run through a national laboratory. If positive, it can be tested for clade 2. If those results are negative for clade 2, the doctor can make a presumptive diagnosis of clade 1; that diagnosis will need to be officially confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to officials.
The Jynneos mpox vaccine, given in two doses, is effective against both clade 1 and clade 2 of mpox.
The CDC's vaccine recommendation remains limited to anyone who is considered at high risk of catching the virus, mainly gay and bisexual men.&nbsp;
Most people with health insurance can get the vaccine at major pharmacy retail chains including CVS and Walgreens, the officials said. The vaccine is also available for free at public health departments and community health centers.
More vaccines are being held in the U.S. national stockpile, officials said, although they declined to say how many.&nbsp;
"There is a sufficient amount of vaccine for the U.S. population," an official said.&nbsp;
The U.S. is also working with government scientists and drug companies to develop potential new treatments. There are currently no approved treatments for mpox. The Food and Drug Administration has approved an antiviral treatment known as TPOXX for smallpox, which is closely related to mpox, although a recent clinical trial found that the drug is <a href="https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/antiviral-tecovirimat-safe-did-not-improve-clade-i-mpox-resolution-democratic-republic-congo">not effective against clade 1</a>.&nbsp;

'U.S. Prepares For Possible Arrival Of More Severe Strain Of Mpox; There Have Been Nearly 25,000 Cases Of The Clade 1 Version Of Mpox In Africa So Far This Year" - NBC

<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_4523">https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_4523</a>
&nbsp;
Today, close to 100,000 mpox vaccine doses will arrive in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), making these the first delivery of the vaccine to the country. A second delivery amounting to around 100,000 vaccines is expected to arrive in the coming days.
These vaccines are part of the 215,000 MVA-BN&#xAE; <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_4244">vaccine doses</a> that the European Commission's Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA) procured and pledged to share to affected countries in Africa as an immediate response to the mpox outbreak.
Via Team Europe, an additional 351,500 of doses from France, Germany, Spain, Malta, Portugal, Luxembourg, Croatia, Austria, Poland, and potentially some other Member States, will be donated to the Africa CDC to distribute to affected countries. This brings the total number of vaccine doses donated from Team Europe to at least 566,500, which includes the above 215,000 doses that were donated by HERA in cooperation with the Bavarian Nordic pharmaceutical company.
EU support for the mpox outbreak
This initiative is part of a comprehensive set of EU actions put in place as part of the EU Global Health Strategy, which represents the external dimension of a strong European Health Union and is a key component of Global Gateway, to support partners in the rest of the world.
The Commission is actively coordinating the response of EU Member States to the mpox outbreak via regular meetings of the HERA Board and the Health Security Committee, which allows prompt coordination when dealing with health threats.
The Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) is in contact with EU Member States given that, if activated, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (rescEU) can be used to channel mpox vaccines and therapeutics to countries in need. Specialised expertise, medical items and equipment could also be deployed based on these needs.
Under the Global Gateway investment strategy, the Commission is committed to advancing public health in Africa. The Commission has focused on strengthening health systems, securing pharmaceutical supply chains, and developing local manufacturing through investment in infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment. An example of this is the Team Europe Initiative on manufacturing and access to vaccines, medicines and health technologies (Mav+) and on Sustainable Health Security.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is supporting epidemiological work on the ground in the DRC, working with the Africa CDC to identify priority areas for mpox research, and is leading coordination of the Network of Major CDCs globally. HERA is also working with the Africa CDC with the aim of expanding access to mpox diagnostics and sequencing in the region, with a €9.4 million grant foreseen for early autumn.
The Commission has released €1 million in humanitarian aid to support care, prevention, epidemiological surveillance, risk communication and distribution of kits in the eastern DRC as well as €200,000 in Burundi to assist the Burundi Red Cross in preparing for and responding to the epidemic. Under the European Humanitarian Response Capacity (EHRC), in cooperation with the ECDC, two epidemiologists were deployed on 4 September to the DRC. In addition, the Commission provides regular humanitarian funding for surveillance programmes, including in Uganda and Kenya's camps and settlements and expertise to assist in the response.

&nbsp;
One case of mpox has been reported at the Clark County Detention Center, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
While police were unable to confirm which date the case was reported, Metro said it was during the week of August 19.
The person with mpox, which is formerly known as monkeypox, is no longer in custody, police said Tuesday, adding that there were no other reported cases.
&nbsp;
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the virus is part of the same family as the virus that causes smallpox. Symptoms commonly include a rash that scabs before healing.
The disease can be spread between animals and people, the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/about/index.html">CDC</a> website reads. It is spread through skin-to-skin contact.
