More Monkeypox Vaccines Will Be Made Available Ahead Of Pride Events

The video discusses the rising cases of monkeypox and the efforts to distribute vaccines, especially at pride events. The US is setting aside 50,000 doses for large events, but there is a shortage in many cities. Strategies to stretch doses include dividing full doses and injecting just below the skin. The CDC's system for COVID vaccines is not fully applicable to monkeypox, leading to distribution challenges. Most infections are among men with recent sexual contact with other men. Health officials recommend traveling outside major cities to find vaccines.
