An outbreak of the monkeypox virus in North America and Europe is primarily spreading through sex among men with about 200 confirmed and suspected cases across at least a dozen countries, WHO officials said.
Biden administration health official Ashish Jha said Sunday he expects that monkeypox will not have widespread impact in the United States. "I feel like this is a virus we understand," he said on ABC's "This Week."
A third pediatric dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in children 6 months to under 5 years of age prompted a strong immune response, with a safety profile that was similar to placebo, the companies said.
Just when the world thought it was done with the worst of COVID, an outbreak of another virus has scientists worried. Cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in the U.K., Portugal, Sweden, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, the U.S., Canada and Australia.
