Dr Hanny also said that the monkeypox vaccine did not 100% prevent the risk of monkeypox infection. Even so, people who have received the vaccine and are exposed to monkeypox are not expected to experience any serious symptoms and complications.
“In reality, this vaccination cannot eliminate the infection 100 percent, but of course we hope that the complications these patients get are lighter. Even if they are infected, there will be no complications,” he concluded.
