Adam Schiff, a leading critic of the US response to the monkeypox outbreak, said on Sunday that he didn't know why there weren't more vaccine available.
The Monkeypox was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization.
The director-general of the World Health Organization said yesterday that the outbreak was a global health emergency.
A coordinated international response to a public health emergency of international concern can be triggered by the WHO label.
The WHO has declared a public health emergency of international concern, according to the Biden administration's Covid responseordinator.
Many parts of the world are experiencing an outbreak. We need to get our arms around it.
Monkeypox causes flu-like symptoms and can cause skin infections.
Sebastian Khn, who contracted monkeypox in New York City, wrote a first-person account for the Guardian.
They looked like mosquito bites before developing into blisters that would eventually pop and leave a scar.
Tedros, who cast the deciding vote in favor of declaring a public health emergency of international concern, said the risk of monkeypox was moderate around the world.
Tedros said that the outbreak is concentrated among men who have sex with men, especially those with multiple sexual partners.
Discrimination and stigma can be as dangerous as aviruses.
The public health emergency in the US is dependent on what the health department can do.
We have over 2,000 cases right now and we are looking at all sorts of policy options. If we need more tools, we will use them as we need them.
The US was caught flat-footed by calls for more access to testing and vaccines.
When we began, we had a limited supply of vaccines. We have gotten more than any other country. We've acted quickly. In the last week, we received over one million doses from the Danes.
In the next couple of weeks, we will be releasing those. 60 years ago, we had the vaccine and diagnostic capabilities to manage this virus. I think it's being felt in localities around the country now that we've substantially increased that response.
On the same show, he was there.
How concerned should we be about monkeypox?
Margaret Brennan asked if the federal response fell short in terms of supply and timeliness. Three and a half million people live in the current supply area. Some shipments won't arrive until later in the decade. Why do you think the federal response isn't working?
There aren't more vaccines available. There are people in my district who don't have the vaccine they need, and that's a real problem.
We don't know what the future holds for this virus. What we do early on will determine how bad this will be.
I want to light a fire under the administration and get them to make sure that people who are willing and able to get vaccine have the ability to protect themselves.
