(Natural News) Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently warned that there is a “substantial risk” of monkeypox outbreak recurrence this summer, days after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it to no longer be a global health emergency.
On May 15, the CDC issued a “Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Update” saying that there had been a total of 12 confirmed and one probable case of monkeypox reported to the Chicago Department of Public Health from April 17 to May 5.
“All cases were among symptomatic men. None of the patients have been hospitalized. Nine (69 percent) of 13 cases were among men who had received two Jynneos vaccine doses. Confirmed cases were nine (69 percent) non-Hispanic white men, two (15 percent) non-Hispanic black men, and two (15 percent) Asian men. The median age was 34 years (range 24–46 years),” the alert included that travel history was available for nine cases as four recently traveled to New York City, New Orleans and Mexico.
The discovery in Chicago has led experts to call for more inquiries into the efficacy and duration of the vaccines used during last year’s outbreak. But health officials still think vaccination is the ultimate solution to the problem.
