6 lakh doses of monkeypox were given in the US
According to the New York Times, 6 lakh doses of the JYNNEOS vaccine for monkeypox and smallpox have been delivered in the US as of mid-July, but this number is low given the risk to a population of about 1.6 million people. Biden's chief health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Thursday that an additional 2.5 million doses of the Bavarian Nordic (BAVA.CO) vaccine have been ordered.
He said that when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, there was no vaccine for it, but there are already vaccines and treatments available for monkeypox. It was first produced in Africa in the 1970s.
