The New York City Department of Health says it's still waiting to receive additional doses of the monkeypox vaccine after it opened a temporary clinic last week.
Officials say the clinic won't be able to offer additional appointments for the shots or provide service to walk-ins.As of Monday, 48 people in New York City have tested positive for orthopoxvirus, which are presumed to be cases of monkeypox.
Officials say most have had mild illness, have not been hospitalized, and have recovered on their own.Anyone can get and spread monkeypox, though the current cases are primarily spreading among social networks of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, so this community is currently at greater risk of exposure.The city is requesting additional supply from the CDC to meet the high demand.
