The U.S. will deploy nearly 300,000 monkeypox vaccine doses in the coming weeks in an effort to stamp out an outbreak of the virus that continues to grow.
There have been no reported deaths in the U.S. from the virus. Most people recover from monkeypox in two to four weeks.
The World Health Organization said on Saturday that the outbreak does not represent a global health emergency right now. However, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the virus represents an evolving threat that needs close monitoring. Gay and bisexual men who have had sex with multiple partners are at particularly high risk of infection right now, according to the CDC. However, public health officials have repeatedly emphasized that anyone can catch the virus regardless of sexual orientation.
