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.
