Adults (\u226516 years old) usually have mild disease in contemporary studies, with a pooled case fatality rate of 0.03% (1\/2941 cases). In comparison, poorer outcomes have been reported in children &lt;16 years old (pooled case fatality rate 19% (4\/21 cases)), immunocompromised patients, and pregnant women, with high rates of fetal demise in this group. Monkeypox-specific treatments include oral or intravenous tecovirimat, intravenous or topical cidofovir, oral brincidofovir, and vaccinia immunoglobulin, but the overall risk\u2013benefit balance of monkeypox-specific treatment is unclear. Two effective vaccines exist for the prevention of MVIH: modified vaccinia Ankara and ACAM2000. Most probably, vaccination will be a key strategy for mitigating MVIH given the current rapid global spread of monkeypox, the existence of efficacious vaccines, and the uncertain risk\u2013benefit profile of current antivirals. Priority groups for vaccination should include healthcare workers at high risk for occupational exposure, immunocompromised patients, and children. Vaccination strategies include pre-exposure vaccination, post-exposure prophylaxis, and ring vaccination of close contacts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines10081342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]],"date-time":"2022-08-19T02:48:23Z","timestamp":1660877303000},"page":"1342","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Vaccination for Monkeypox Virus Infection in Humans: A Review of Key Considerations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2528-7282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kay Choong","family":"See","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore 119228, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2018.00241","article-title":"Emergence of Monkeypox as the Most Important Orthopoxvirus Infection in Humans","volume":"6","author":"Sklenovska","year":"2018","journal-title":"Front.
