Information from today's @CDCgov clinicians' webinar on #monkeypox.

There have been 305 confirmed cases so far in the US

Interesting that @CAPublicHealth site has 65 listed, but only 43 in the CDC graphic
1/n Image Number of cases detected over time.

Many cases are among men who have sex with other men.

But it is important to remember that anyone can be infected (and spread) #monkeypox, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

Good news: 1.7M #COVID19 #vaccine doses given in #LosAngeles!
Bad news: vaccination program is leaving behind Black and Hispanic seniors, perpetuating existing #healthdisparities

This is an *access* issue, as current system relies on technology, outreach, and transportation These are the same maps we saw for access to testing and #COVID19 infections throughout the pandemic.

It is disheartening that the same communities that were hardest hit by the pandemic have the lowest access to #vaccines @skarlamangla
