>>21262320>There's a new mpox vaccine called the ACAM2000. It causes myocarditis and has a virus that can spread to unvaccinated people, giving vulnerable people serious health problems.https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/acam2000-smallpox-vaccine-questions-and-answersit's a general smallpox vaccine, not a monkeypox vaccine
>The vaccine may cause myocarditis and pericarditis, which are inflammation and swelling of the heart and surrounding tissues and can be very serious. Based on clinical studies, myocarditis and/or pericarditis occur in 1 in 175 adults who get the vaccine for the first time.>Serious health problems, including those that are life-threatening, can also occur in unvaccinated people who are accidentally infected by someone who has recently received the vaccine. In particular, unvaccinated people who are pregnant, or have problems with their heart or immune system, or have skin problems like eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and have close contact with a vaccine recipient are at an increased risk for serious problems if they become infected with the vaccine virus, either by being vaccinated, or by being in close contact with a person who was vaccinated. It is very important for the ACAM2000 recipient to properly care for the vaccination site to prevent the virus in the vaccine from spreading and infecting another part of the body and other people.so if you get the vaccine just isolate yourself for some days and clean the site. not a big deal. a 0.5% chance of myocarditis/pericarditis also isn't a big deal. and it's not available to the public
