The World Health Organization designated the disease a public health emergency of international concern over the weekend.
Monkeypox has been declared an imminent threat to public health in New York as infections continue to rise, Dr. Mary T. Bassett, the state health commissioner, announced.
Dr. Susan Philip, the city's health officer, said the order would allow flexibility as experts anticipate wider community spread. San Francisco has received 8,200 doses of the Jynneos vaccine, intended to prevent monkeypox and smallpox infections. “We know that this virus impacts everyone equally — but we also know that those in our LGBTQ community are at greater risk right now. Many people in our LGBTQ community are scared and frustrated. This local emergency will allow us to continue to support our most at-risk, while also better preparing for what’s to come.”Mary Altaffer / AP
