There is growing concern over the monkeypox outbreak among many here at home. A day after New York City declared a public health emergency, thousands were back out Sunday trying to get the vaccine. KevRincon reports.
However, there is some concern that we could fall too far behind in the race.In a New York Times essay, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb says,"Our country's response to monkeypox has been plagued by the same shortcomings we had with COVID-19."
He says if the virus gains a foothold in the U.S.,"It will be one of the worst public health failures in modern times.""Something that could have been prevented if we had planned better, and prioritized things better," one person said."You could be sitting on a subway with an open sore. It leaks. Someone sits there and it spreads. So this needs to be expanded beyond certain populations."And it's not just one group at risk.
Meanwhile, 15 vaccination sites will come online in neighboring Connecticut on Monday, nearly a month after the first confirmed case was reported.
