Monkeypox Updates: Vaccine Information and Campaign to Rename Virus
If you feel like the amount of attention being paid to the current global monkeypox viral outbreak has crescendoed in recent weeks, you are right. The monkeypox virus, which has been endemic to certain areas of Africa for decades, has been transmitting in unusual places, and many public health systems are bracing themselves for what comes next.
Here’s what you need to know about the current monkeypox outbreak, including where the United States currently stands, vaccine information, and the campaign to rename the virus.
How Have Global and Domestic Public Health Systems Been Responding to the Virus?
In mid-May, public health experts began identifying cases of monkeypox in countries outside of the region in Africa where it typically causes periodic outbreaks. As the summer went on, more and more cases were identified, and, in mid-July, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. A few states in the United States (New York, Illinois, California) also began declaring public health emergencies, and, on August 4, 2022, the Biden administration announced its classification of the current monkeypox outbreak as a public health emergency. By classifying the viral outbreak as such, more resources can be made available to ramp up the speed of the response of health systems, from surveillance to vaccine production and distribution.
BA.5 COVID-19 Variant: What We Know
BA.5 is currently the dominant strain of COVID-19 in the U.S. Here’s what you need to know about this latest COVID variant and how to best stay protected.
What Is the BA.5 COVID Variant?
BA.5 is one of the newest sub-variants of the COVID-19 Omicron virus. It made up 85.5% of all COVID cases in the U.S. between July 24 and July 30, reports the CDC. At present, the three most common variants of Omicron are BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5.
How Is BA.5 Different From Other Strains of COVID?
The BA.5 variant currently represents the highest number of COVID cases, and therefore may be more contagious than other strains of this disease. It also appears to “evade protection from vaccines and previous infections more easily” than previous variants, according to a report from NBC News.
David Montefiori, a professor at the Human Vaccine Institute at Duke University Medical Center, says BA.5 is approximately three times less sensitive to neutralizing antibodies from COVID vaccines than the original version of Omicron. It is also four times more resistant to antibodies from COVID vaccines than BA.2, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature.
In June, the U.K. reported that the majority of people who were testing positive for COVID were experiencing symptoms including fever, abdominal pain, sore throat, and muscle aches. BA.5 and BA.4 accounted for the majority of new COVID cases in the U.K. during that time.
