All in states or city's which had already recorded a previous case.įor privacy reasons, the identities of people that have been infected have keep kept under wraps, though one early patient in the UK has been identified.

While Americans may not see this as much of a pressing need yet, with just over one of every one million residents having a recorded infection so far, one expert warns that the virus is spreading more rapidly than surveillance has kept up with.ĭr Boghuma Titanji, an infectious diseases expert at Emory University in Georgia, told STAT that the U.S.

The federal government has refused to disclose how much of a stockpile it has of smallpox drugs either, though.

It also has a higher reported risk of adverse events tied to it, a concern for all smallpox vaccines.Īfter infection, there are no specific antivirals tailored to monkeypox, with doctors instead working with medication designed for smallpox. is reportedly sitting on a stockpile of over 100 million doses of the jabs, a figure which may have also changed according to the CDC. There is another available jab as well, ACAM2000.ĪCAM2000 is an older vaccine which was designed to prevent smallpox - just like JYNNEOS - and is only effective post-exposure to the virus. Last weed, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC's leading experts on vaccines, issued recommendations to prioritize lab workers who research orthopoxviruses, people who work in lab testing environments, and health care personnel who are treating infected patients for the shots. This might not nearly be enough, though, as that would combined only be enough for 8.5 million of over 330 million Americans. STAT reports that the Norweigan manufacturer of the shot also has one million doses already on deck for the U.S., and could meet supply for 16 million more shots. Jynneos is a two-dose vaccine, making the allotment enough to immunize 36,000 Americans. STAT News reports that the federal government either has or is planning to receive a combined 72,000 doses. Last week, at a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) briefing, officials declined to disclose how many shots of the vaccine were available. It was originally formulated to combat smallpox - a now eradicated disease that comes from the same family of viruses as monkeypox. It is the only shot approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fight monkeypox. I think we need to be testing way more than we're doing.' 'We're just not testing enough to be able to reliably say that there are only 25 cases.

Other experts say infections may not be detected because cases can be mild and clear up on their own, leading to patients not coming forward, or get misdiagnosed as a sexually transmitted disease like syphilis. likely already has the same number of infections as the UK - which is currently the world's monkeypox hotspot.īut she said the arduous process of checking swabs - which must be sent to one of 74 local labs and then the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for confirmation - was leading to too few being done and many being missed. America may already have as many as 300 cases of monkeypox - more than nine times the official tally of 31 - but has missed hundreds due to a lack of testing, an expert warned Monday.ĭr Boghuma Titanji, an infectious diseases expert at Emory University in Georgia, claimed the U.S.
