If you remember what happened in the 1980s around AIDS the same thing is now happening with MonkeyPox in that people think it's only a gay problem when so many people are bi-sexual these days that it is going to spread through every community because of this inevitably worldwide.
Here is informaion from CNN regarding Monkeypox Vaccine in the U.S.
300,000 doses have been distributed in the U.S.
1.5 million people are eligible
Each person needs 2 doses
end quote from CNN
Here's the problem presently. If each person needs two doses then this means that ONLY 150,000 people can get vaccinated which is ONLY 10% of the people eligible for vaccination. And I'm sure it's much worse than this in the 75 countries on earth where Monkeypox is now a serious health problem as recently diagnosed by the World Health Organization and the United Nations. So, this is a problem bound to get much worse before it gets better.
