The federal government plans to end in January 2023 the public health emergency it declared earlier this year after an outbreak of mpox left more than 29,000 people across the U.S.
The public health emergency is expected to end in January, said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement. The U.S. struggled to contain the mpox outbreak for many months. Tests were difficult to come by and the government botched its rollout of the vaccine, with weeks of delays in getting 800,000 doses of the shots to clinics in the major cities that were hit hardest.
Their strategy included reaching out to local clinics and vaccinating people at Pride events or parades. As the two-dose Jynneos vaccine became more readily available around the country, cases started falling.Winding down the mpox public health emergency will be a test run of sorts for the Biden administration as it braces to declare an end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, which is expected to last at least through Jan. 11.
