The CDC said this week it is investigating several new cases of mpox, formerly called monkeypox, despite saying just a month ago that the weekly pace of new infections had slowed to zero nationwide.
Since April 26, 60 cases have been reported in eight states, the CDC said.
The CDC still urges two doses of vaccine for people at risk. It said doctors should test patients with symptoms, whether they have been vaccinated or not. "Getting vaccinated is still very important. No vaccine is 100% effective, and infections after vaccination are possible, but they may be milder and less likely to result in hospitalization," the CDC said.
Officials are concerned about a possible resurgence, CBS reported, “especially around travel and gatherings linked to Pride festivities over the coming months.” Globally, new cases are trending downward, said Tedros Adhanom-Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization. Still, he said, “We know that the virus continues to transmit in certain communities and countries, such as in the Western Pacific region, and we continue to see travel-related cases.”CBS News: “CDC investigating possible mpox resurgence amid dozens of new cases nationwide.”© 2023 WebMD, LLC.
