FILE - A vial containing the monkeypox vaccine and a syringe is set on the table at a vaccination clinic run by the Mecklenburg County Public Health Department in Charlotte, N.C., Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022. At-risk people who received just one dose of the monkeypox vaccine appeared to be significantly less likely to get sick from the virus, public health officials announced Wednesday, even as they urged a second dose for full protection.
Roughly 800,000 first and second doses of the vaccine have been administered across the country to people who are considered high risk for becoming infected with the virus, White House National Monkeypox Response Coordinator Bob Fenton said. But the CDC's new real-world figures show that unvaccinated men, between the ages 18 and 49 who were considered eligible for the vaccine, were 14 times as likely to become infected with monkeypox as those who had one dose at least two weeks earlier. The data came from 32 states for cases between July 31 through Sept. 3.
The U.S. leads the world in monkeypox cases. So far more than 25,000 infections of the virus, which can cause rash, fever, body aches and chills, have been reported.

Monkeypox: Unvaccinated 14 Times More Likely To Contract Disease Than Those Without Shot, CDC SaysPeople vaccinated against monkeypox were 14 times less likely than those who were not vaccinated to contract the disease, the CDC says. I don’t sleep around and I avoid people with weird shit on them pays to be germaphobic … and I’m not gay ( reference 2017 monkey pox Africa ( gay men ) ) uses google not me! They also used to say the COVID vax prevented infection. This demonstration of “science of the moment” is dangerous. Need to be more clear about what they’re actually saying CURRENTLY. Oh, is this where they try to convince us that men who have sex with men are better protected from monkey pox if they've had the vaccine than normal people are? Cause seeing how there's no end to their BS that really wouldn't surprise me a bit if they go down that road.
