Article Synopsis
- Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is causing a global outbreak, raising questions about different antibody responses from vaccination versus actual infection.
- A study found that convalescent individuals (those who recovered from MPXV) had higher neutralizing antibodies against the virus compared to vaccinated and non-infected people one month after exposure.
- Both groups experienced a significant decrease in antibody levels after eight months, indicating a need for improved vaccine strategies to ensure longer-lasting immunity and reduce breakthrough infections.
