Monkeypox vaxx plan

-

The US is setting aside an extra 50,000 doses of monkeypox vaccine for places with upcoming gay pride events, health officials said yesterday. The number of doses sent to each place will be based on factors such as the size of the event, how many health workers will be available to give shots, and how many of the attendees are considered at highest risk for catching the virus. At least a dozen US pride events are scheduled during the next two months.
