WHAT IMVANEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
IMVANEX is a vaccine used to prevent smallpox, monkeypox and disease
caused by vaccinia virus in
adults.
When a person is given the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s
natural defence system) will
produce its own protection in the form of antibodies against the
smallpox, monkeypox and vaccinia
viruses.
IMVANEX does not contain smallpox virus (Variola) or monkeypox virus
or vaccinia viruses. It
cannot spread or cause smallpox, monkeypox or vaccinia infection and
disease.
