The Biden administration is speeding up the distribution of monkeypox vaccines, federal health officials said Thursday.
The Department of Health and Human Services will make an additional 1.8 million doses of the Jynneos vaccine available next week.
This measure will enable States and localities to start ordering more vaccine doses sooner than officials originally planned.
Jurisdictions that have already used 90% of their supply can order additional doses beginning Monday, the White House pointed out.
The Biden administration is preparing doses of anti-viral treatment to help those who have already tested positive for monkeypox.
Beginning Monday, 50,000 patient courses of the antiviral will be made available, officials said.
