Advocates Urge Mpox Vaccination As Cases Rise

CBS News (7/1, Gounder, Moniuszko) reports, “More than two years since the initial mpox outbreak, cases are trending up again – and the word still hasn’t gotten out to everyone at risk. During Pride Month, public health officials came armed with a serious message: Get vaccinated.” Currently, “only 23% of those at risk nationwide are vaccinated.” Those at highest risk include “men who have sex with men and trans women.”
