Scope note: Vacuna contra el VIRUS DE LA VACCINIA utilizada para la inmunización contra la VIRUELA. Actualmente se recomienda solo para trabajadores de laboratorio expuestos al VIRUS DE LA VIRUELA. Algunos países continúan vacunando a las personas que están en el servicio militar. Las complicaciones raras que se asocian con mayor frecuencia a las vacunas antivariólicas de generaciones anteriores son la VACCINIA, las infecciones bacterianas secundarias y la ENCEFALOMIELITIS. Debido a que el VIRUS DE LA VIRUELA DEL MONO y el VIRUS DE LA VIRUELA son ORTHOPOXVIRUS y están estrechamente relacionados, las vacunas antivariólicas proporcionan PROTECCIÓN CRUZADA eficaz contra la VIRUELA DEL MONO (MPOX).

Scope note: A VACCINIA VIRUS vaccine used for immunization against SMALLPOX. It is now recommended only for laboratory workers exposed to SMALLPOX VIRUS. Certain countries continue to vaccinate those in the military service. Rare complications most often associated with older generation smallpox vaccines include VACCINIA, secondary bacterial infections, and ENCEPHALOMYELITIS. Because MONKEYPOX VIRUS and SMALLPOX VIRUS are both ORTHOPOXVIRUS and are closely related smallpox vaccines provide effective CROSS-PROTECTION against MPOX (MONKEYPOX) (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/clinicians/smallpox-vaccine.html).
