How to tell if you have monkeypox 02:39


(AIA NEWS )The United States is responding to a request for the release of monkeypox vaccine from the nation's Strategic National Stockpile as a global outbreak of cases is under investigation.

There is one confirmed case of monkeypox and four suspected cases in the United States, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.

"I can report that there has been a request for release of the Jynneos vaccine from the National Stockpile for some of the high-risk contacts of some of the early patients, so that is actively happening right now," Dr. Jennifer McQuiston, deputy director of the Division of High Consequence Pathogens and Pathology within the CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, said Monday.

McQuiston said the United States has a "good stock" of vaccine because it has been preparing for the possibility of needing to use doses for smallpox.

More than 100 confirmed or suspected cases of monkeypox have been reported in 12 countries, including the US.
