Multiple states and cities have declared public health emergencies to speed up prevention and monkeypox vaccination.
California and Illinois declared such emergencies for the outbreak on Monday to speed up prevention and vaccination, accordingThe announcements mirrored similar emergency declarations made last week in New York state, New York City, and San Francisco.. The U.S. has reported more than 5,800 monkeypox cases nationwide, with 1,390 in New York, 827 in California, and 520 in Illinois. Florida and Georgia follow close behind, with 442 and 430 cases each.
California's emergency order allows emergency medical services personnel to give monkeypox vaccines that are approved by the FDA, which is like the recent approval for pharmacists to give vaccines, according to the announcement. Last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a statewide disaster emergency, which expands the pool of people who can give monkeypox vaccines to include emergency medical personnel, pharmacists, and midwives. It also allows doctors and certified nurse practitioners to issue non-patient-specific orders for vaccines and requires providers to send vaccine data to the New York State Department of Health.
"New York City is currently the epicenter of the outbreak, and we estimate that approximately 150,000 New Yorkers may currently be at risk for monkeypox exposure," Mayor Eric Adams and Ashwin Vasan, MD, commissioner of the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said"We will continue to work with our federal partners to secure more doses as soon as they become available," they said.
