Monkeypox treatments and vaccines shipped to states as U.S. cases rise

• That is six more cases than last week, per Bloomberg.

Details: The government has delivered 1,200 doses of the vaccine and 100 treatment courses for the monkeypox virus, Raj Panjabi, the White House's senior director for global health security and biodefense, told reporters during the CDC briefing.

• States have received the Jynneos vaccine, which is given to prevent monkeypox and smallpox.
• Officials said one state asked for the ACAM2000 vaccine, which is distributed post-exposure.
• The U.S. stockpile of the vaccine has climbed, too, but officials did not give a specific number.

What they're saying: "We want to offer vaccines to people who've had high-risk contact with infected individuals to help prevent more onward transmission of the virus," said Panjabi.

• "We want to ensure that people with high-risk exposures have rapid access to vaccines and, if they become sick, can receive appropriate treatment," he added.
