New vaccin - monkeypox

[pralthom]

Hi,

I am sorry to open an issue for this as it may not be a real issue.

We are currently using your ValueSet as an official reference for Swiss Vaccines in our projects.

A new vaccine has been approved by the Confederation for monkeypox vaccination. Have you already looked into it? If yes, do you plan to add it to the ValueSet?

Thank you in advance for your response,

Thomas

@pralthom as in issue https://github.com/hl7ch/ch-vacd/issues/134 announced we make a reconciliation for the value set. the last version of swissmedic list was used to add the newly added vaccines into the list. the vaccine against the mokeypox seems not yet to be authorized.

@ralych thank you for your reply.

It seems that the monkeypox vaccine (JYNNEOS) has been approved by the confederation because they are starting to distribute the vaccines to the cantons: https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/13527000-la-suisse-recoit-les-vaccins-contre-la-variole-du-singe.html

However, the official vaccines list has not been updated by swissmedic yet: https://www.swissmedic.ch/swissmedic/fr/home/services/listen_neu.html

@pralthom its a so called "off-label use". means not authorized by swissmedic. https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-epidemien-pandemien/aktuelle-ausbrueche-epidemien/affenpocken/impfung-behandlung.html

"Bavarian Nordic will shortly submit an application to Swissmedic...."
