Thousands more doses of monkeypox vaccine are expected to soon begin shipping to the U.S.

A company spokesman said Bavarian Nordic sped up its plans to undergo the inspection after monkeypox began spreading in Europe in May. Initially the company planned to submit its paperwork to the FDA in August for an inspection later in the fall.that can be given in the U.S. to prevent monkeypox.
White House officials have promised more supplies, chiefly from the more than 1 million-dose Bavarian Nordic stockpile. The U.S. has ordered another 2.5 million doses for delivery later this year or early next.
