W.H.O. Declares Monkeypox A Global Emergency

New York City is the current epicenter of the monkeypox outbreak in the U.S., with 778 cases.

The World Health Organization declared monkeypox an international emergency.

This is the first time in history a director-general has declared an emergency without a clear recommendation from the emergency committee of the W.H.O.

Here in the U.S., health officials have been working on a strategic deployment of vaccines.
