The federal government declared monkeypox a public health emergency late this week, a move Dr. Peter Chin-Hong from UCSF calls 'better late than never.'
SAN FRANCISCO -- Monkeypox cases are on the rise in California and across the country.
"This declaration by President Biden will be helpful in opening up some resources but also allowing for faster approval of medication as well as new, better kinds of testing," Wiener said."So, this will definitely be a good step in fighting this outbreak." He said the federal declaration should help open the door to more resources and is also symbolic move.
Nationwide and in the Bay Area, people continue to queue up in long lines for vaccines which are still in short supply.
