U.S. health officials are expanding the group of people recommended to get vaccinated against the monkeypox virus. They also say they are providing more monkeypox vaccine, working to expand testing, and taking other steps to try to get ahead of the outbreak. (Cynthia S. Goldsmith, Russell Regner/CDC via AP, file)
The number of confirmed monkeypox cases in New York City has doubled in the past week, according to data from the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The department said in a tweet on Tuesday that 111 people had tested positive in New York City so far, up from 55 a week prior. The tweet states that the city is expecting to receive additional doses of the monkeypox vaccine in the coming days and will make appointments available soon.
The department announced last month that men who have sex with men and have had sex with multiple partners or anonymous partners in the past two weeks would be eligible to receive the vaccine. The vaccine, the Jynneos smallpox vaccine, is administered in two doses four weeks apart from each other.
The city’s health department website states that most people infected with monkeypox in New York City have had mild illness, have not been hospitalized and have recovered on their own.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that monkeypox cases have been confirmed in 33 states plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
I’m sure the homosexual community really is concerned.
There’s a lot of monkeys in New Yawk.
The authorities are going to go ape over this.
Remember the “k” is silent in monkeypox.
The department announced last month that men who have sex with men and have had sex with multiple partners or anonymous partners in the past two weeks would be eligible to receive the vaccine.

Can’t believe they are admitting that it is related to promiscuous homosexual activity.
Hmmmm? Has sec’trans’ little peter booteejudge been in town? Inquiring minds......just don’t care. 😊
As is the ‘x’..................
Not surprised, the Monkeys have complete run of the place.
This is one more reason why it is wise not to boink people in the rear.
They should extend pride month another 30 days.
Do you believe what the mainstream media is saying about this?
Pride month needed to happen for the outbreak to materialize and for the country to have another rigged election.
They actually requested that!..................
Republican solution = warn homosexuals to,abstain from sex with infected partners
Liberal,solution = shut the country down and force everyone to wear masks and get vaccinated with experimental vaccines
Lol. Good one
I only believe some of the facts they present. I got rid of television in 1997 party because I was so frustrated with news reports that would start out with the facts and then continue reporting the story with their own opinions of what the facts meant, often strongly disagreeing with what I thought the facts meant.
I doubt it. The homosexual community has not learned the primary lesson of HIV/AIDS which is to sit on your butt and keep your mouth shut.
The majority are among the fudge packers.
