White House plans monkeypox action for gay events

The White House said it is taking new actions to combat the monkeypox (MPV) outbreak and protect individuals most at risk of contracting the virus by providing additional vaccines to states and cities holding events that convene large groups of LGBTQI+ individuals, specifically gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.
The administration plans to provide additional vaccines and support to Louisiana, Georgia and California in advance of upcoming gay pride events.The number of doses sent to each place will be based on factors like the size of the event, how many health workers will be available to give shots, and how many of the attendees are considered at the highest risk for catching the virus.
