Saint Louis University’s Center for Vaccine Development Seeking Adult Volunteers for Mpox Vaccine Research Study

03/30/2023

Saint Louis University’s Center for Vaccine Development is conducting a research study to learn more about a mpox vaccine. 

Purpose  

The purpose of this research is to test different doses and routes of the MVA-BN Jynneos vaccine. Vaccines tell your germ-fighting cells to make antibodies and other substances to fight infections. All the study vaccines are intended to train the immune system so that if the person is then infected with the mpox virus, they have a “head start” and the infection can be stopped or made less severe 

Key Points

• Procedures will include collection of health information, vaccinations, and blood draws.
• To participate you must be between 18-50 years old and in stable health.
• You cannot participate if you have ever received a licensed or investigational smallpox or mpox vaccine

Payment & Time Commitment  

• You will be compensated for participating
• The study will last about 12 months.
