The United States is ramping up efforts to combat a new strain of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, amid rising cases. Senior Biden administration officials have announced enhanced testing, surveillance, and vaccine availability at local pharmacies and community health centers. This response comes as health agencies prepare for the potential arrival of a more severe version of the virus, according to NBC. In Los Angeles County, mpox cases continue to increase, prompting local health authorities to provide information on vaccination, testing, and treatment options. The World Health Organization has emphasized the importance of using existing vaccination programs to address mpox, highlighting the need for continued vigilance and public health measures. The US government has also expanded mpox testing and wastewater surveillance in response to the global health emergency.
