It’s a new week and monkeypox cases are increasing. Usually found in Africa, cases have recently cropped up in the United States, Canada and Europe. Recently, The New York Times reported 92 confirmed cases as of May 21, as well as “28 suspected cases” across 12 countries outside of Africa.

Recently, President Joe Biden addressed the Osan Air Base in South Korea and discussed the virus. He stressed that “it is something that everybody should be concerned about.”

Several companies are responding to this concern, however, working hard to provide monkeypox vaccines.
