BREAKING: U.S. declares Monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency
For example, a spokesperson for Becerra's department confirmed to CBS News earlier this month that it was working to see if millions of previously stockpiled — and now expired — doses of the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine might be able to be deployed under an emergency use authorization.
Samples of the expired doses have been sent back to the manufacturer Bavarian Nordic for testing, though the spokesperson said it was"highly unlikely that these doses remain viable." Officials have said for weeks that they were mulling the move as the number of cases have swelled and demand for shots has far exceeded supply around the country.
