The live smallpox (vaccinia) vaccine, ACAM2000 (Emergent BioSolutions) and the non-replicating, live smallpox and mpox vaccine, Jynneos (Bavarian Nordic) should be brought to room temperature before use, according to the package inserts for these two products.

With the exception of these two vaccines, there is no recommendation to wait until a vaccine reaches room temperature before administration. The vaccine should be administered as soon as it is prepared.

In the latest episode of the Patient Advocacy Voices podcast produced by Sanofi, “Rebuilding Trust: What the Autism Community Teaches Us About Vaccine Confidence,” co-hosts Eric Racine and Heather Entenmann of Sanofi are joined by Danielle Hall and ImmunizeOrg’s Kelly Moore, MD, MPH, for a conversation on trust, inclusion, and vaccine confidence. Drawing on lived experience, public health leadership, and frontline advocacy, the episode explores why the long-debunked vaccine-autism myth persists, and why rebuilding trust takes more than facts alone.

In general, vaccines containing adjuvants (a component that enhances the antigenic response) are administered IM to avoid the risk of irritation, swelling, skin discoloration, inflammation, or granuloma formation if injected into subcutaneous tissue. This includes most of the inactivated vaccines, with a few exceptions (such as inactivated polio vaccine and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, which may be given either subcut or IM). Vaccine efficacy may also be reduced if not given by the recommended route.
