US Edition - Today's top story: Monkeypox vaccines: A virologist answers 6 questions about how they work, who can get them and how well they prevent infection [View in browser]( US Edition | 5 August 2022 [The Conversation]( Yesterday, the Biden administration declared monkeypox a national public health emergency. Another virus, another federal state of emergency and another reason to pay way more attention to vaccines than I ever thought I’d need to. Thankfully, monkeypox isn’t nearly as contagious or as deadly as COVID-19. But there is another important difference between the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and where the U.S. is today with regard to monkeypox: There are already two vaccines approved for use against the virus. Maureen Ferran is a virologist and infectious disease researcher at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She has been one of The Conversation’s go-to experts on coronavirus vaccines, so when it became clear that vaccination was going to be an important part of the monkeypox story, I could think of no one better to explain [how these vaccines work, how protective they are and what is happening with the supply](.
