The monkeypox virus has reached all the American states, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.
Wyoming (West) reported a single case of the virus on Monday, becoming the final state in the country to do so.
The virus case is from a male resident in Laramie County, said the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) in a release, adding that public health representatives have followed up with the infected individual to see if other residents had direct contact with him.
As of Monday, there are 15,433 reported cases of monkeypox in the U.S, with New York leading with nearly 3,000 reported cases, followed by California, Florida, Texas and Georgia, CDC pointed out.
Recently, the Department of Human and Health Services officially declared monkeypox a public health emergency in the U.S.
The Biden administration plans to accelerate the production of the monkeypox vaccine by making an additional 1.8 million doses available starting this week.
