Summary

This study tests the safety and immune response of the MVA-BN mpox vaccine in 359 pregnant and postpartum women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some women receive the vaccine during pregnancy, others right after giving birth, and a small group gets it as an emergency shot after exposure to mpox. Researchers will monitor mothers and their infants for over a year to see if the vaccine protects both and is safe during pregnancy.
