The number of mpox cases in the U.S. has doubled compared to last year, prompting federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials to recommend full vaccination for those at risk. Cases of the disease have increased by 150%, with concerns raised specially for Pride Month gatherings. Health experts emphasize outreach and vaccination efforts, particularly targeting Black and Hispanic LGBTQ+ individuals who face barriers to care. Clinicians warn that low vaccination rates among high-risk groups could lead to a resurgence of the disease, urging two doses of the Jynneos vaccine for prevention.
