Monkeypox cases in the U.S. continue to rise at an alarming rate—exacerbated by inadequate access to testing, misdiagnosis, and limited vaccine availability
in the U.S. All states except Montana and Wyoming have confirmed cases, but more than half have been recorded in New York, California, Illinois, Florida, and Texas.
“When you have an infectious disease that’s spread through contact and appears in a community where it circulates through social and sexual networks, and the main tool to prevent the spread—the vaccine—isn’t easily available, it’s not surprising we’re seeing the situation we’re seeing right now,” says El-Sadr.
“We’re seeing cases that more likely have classic symptoms, but I suspect that there may be many more where the disease may be mild and the person gets better on their own or their case is misdiagnosed,” El-Sadr says. “I fear what we’re counting is likely the tip of the iceberg.” Currently, though, the vaccine supply is nowhere close to meeting demand among the eligible population, which includes men who have sex with men, sex workers, and healthcare staff exposed to the virus.
