Case of smallpox5
  • People got a mild case of smallpox, but then they were immune. (usf.edu)
  • This will take place even in the absence of a single case of smallpox but amidst valid, thoughtful criticism. (ama-assn.org)
  • The last case of smallpox was reported in 1977. (merckmanuals.com)
  • True eradication usually entails eliminating the microorganism itself or removing it completely from nature, as in the case of smallpox virus, which now exists only in storage in two laboratories. (cdc.gov)

ACAM200023
  • ACAM2000® and JYNNEOS TM (also known as Imvamune or Imvanex) are the only two licensed smallpox vaccines in the United States. (cdc.gov)
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has licensed ACAM2000® , (Smallpox [Vaccinia] Vaccine, Live), a replication-competent vaccine, for active immunization against smallpox disease in persons determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection. (cdc.gov)
  • In the event of a smallpox emergency, ACAM2000® would be made available to persons exposed to smallpox virus or who are at high risk of smallpox infection, depending on the circumstances of the event. (cdc.gov)
  • In a smallpox emergency, APSV would be made available under an IND or EUA for use in circumstances where ACAM2000® is depleted, not readily available, or in a case-by-case basis where ACAM2000® is contraindicated. (cdc.gov)
  • Unlike ACAM2000® and APSV, JYNNEOS TM is an attenuated live virus vaccine. (cdc.gov)
  • Unlike ACAM2000® and APSV, JYNNEOS TM is administered subcutaneously as two doses separated by 4 weeks (one dose at week 0 and a second dose at week 4) for primary vaccinees (individuals who have never been vaccinated against smallpox or do not recall receiving a smallpox vaccination in the past). (cdc.gov)
  • FDA licensed Smallpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live, with the proprietary name ACAM2000, for active immunization against smallpox disease for persons determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection. (fda.gov)
  • Is ACAM2000 different than Dryvax, a vaccine used in the global eradication of smallpox? (fda.gov)
  • ACAM2000, a "second generation" smallpox vaccine, is derived from a clone of Dryvax, purified, and produced using modern cell culture technology. (fda.gov)
  • A clinical study to demonstrate ACAM2000 is non-inferior to Dryvax was conducted in each of two populations: those who had never been vaccinated for smallpox (naive) and those who had previous vaccination. (fda.gov)
  • For those previously vaccinated, the immune response generated was acceptable for ACAM2000. (fda.gov)
  • To compare the efficacy in persons who had never been previously vaccinated against smallpox (naive), 780 subjects received ACAM2000 and 257 subjects received Dryvax. (fda.gov)
  • In a study of people previously vaccinated against smallpox, 1,242 subjects received ACAM2000 and 405 subjects, including males and females from 31-84 years old, received Dryvax. (fda.gov)
  • ACAM2000, a live vaccinia virus vaccine, is the only smallpox vaccine currently licensed and available in the United States (U.S.) for vaccination of persons at risk for orthopoxviral disease. (cdc.gov)
  • ACAM2000 is produced in Vero cells and derived from a clonal isolate of Dryvax, the New York City Board of Health strain widely used during the smallpox eradication campaign [ 1-5 ]. (cdc.gov)
  • However, as the license for Dryvax was withdrawn in 2008, and remaining vaccine supplies were subsequently destroyed, the need to develop new ACIP recommendations based on ACAM2000 is paramount [ 10 ]. (cdc.gov)
  • Thus, the ACIP Smallpox Vaccine Work Group has applied the GRADE framework to the available evidence evaluating the administration of ACAM2000 in laboratory and health-care personnel at risk for orthopoxviral disease due to occupational exposure. (cdc.gov)
