WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. health officials are in the process of releasing some Jynneos vaccine doses for use in monkeypox cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday, adding there are more than 1,000 doses in the national stockpile.

CDC officials said they expect that level to ramp up very quickly in the coming weeks.
