British agencies secure funds to develop standard monkeypox tools​

British health agencies have secured $375,000 to develop tools for a standardised approach to test the performance of vaccines against monkeypox.

The money will go, CEPI said, to the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to develop standard tools to assess the strength and duration of immune responses generated by current vaccines, and for tests used to detect monkeypox antibody levels.

Apart from administration fees, these tools will be made freely available to the global scientific community, paving the way for a common standardised assessment between countries documenting vaccine performance against monkeypox, CEPI said.

The Brits only have $375,000 of extra funding to develop monkey pox tools? Are they going to hire an extra lab worker and another bureaucrat? Doesn’t really seem like they care all that much about monkeypox.
