Program Description
In July 2022, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing monkeypox outbreak to be a global public health emergency. Since the first case was reported in the United States in May 2022, incidence has continued to grow, reaching more than 4500 cases in a short period of 2 months. Several national organizations have implemented strategies to reduce the transmission of monkeypox and allocate preventive vaccinations and treatment for those at highest risk.
