White House sending monkeypox vaccines to states

BBC News:-

The White House is planning to ship thousands of monkeypox vaccines to states as part of a growing federal campaign to halt the outbreak.

Officials say they are also working to increase testing and have expanded the group of people who are being advised to get jabbed.

The virus, normally only found in Africa, has been sweeping through the US and Europe with surprising speed.

There have been 306 cases, and no deaths, recorded in the US so far.

US health officials warned in a media briefing on Tuesday that the true number of cases is probably higher.

Globally, there have been over 4,700 cases reported across 49 countries since last month.
