Health officials are responding to at least 12 monkeypox cases identified in eight different states.
In the United States, health officials have tallied up to 13 cases so far in eight states: California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, Utah, Virginia and Washington. Health officials tell CBS News that doses of the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine are being offered to only at-risk close contacts of monkeypox cases in at least four jurisdictions for now: Colorado, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington.
"After consultation with the CDC, one person who is a contact of the case is receiving Jynneos," Murphy said. Jynneos is so new that the CDC only published its formal recommendations for use of the vaccine in the agency'son Friday, following a months-long deliberation among its outside vaccine advisers.
"CDC experts have been working to refine usage recommendations during the past two years," the agency's statement said, adding that the guidance was unanimously approved by its advisory panel late last year.It is unclear exactly how many doses of Jynneos will be available for use in the U.S. if the outbreak swells.

Not all cases identified in the U.S. have been linked to recent international travel to countries now facing active monkeypox outbreaks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters on Thursday.
