Monkeypox cases are continuing to decline in the U.S. as the outbreak keeps showing signs of receding.
"There were really substantial changes among men who have sex men," Doron said. "High proportions said that they had made significant changes in their behavior."
Another reason, she said, is vaccines. As of Oct. 11, more than 906,000 doses of the JYNNEOS vaccine -- the only vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration to prevent smallpox and monkeypox disease -- have been administered across the U.S., according to the CDC.
Doron, however, said it's too soon to claim victory over the outbreak and added that it's important for those who are at high-risk to keep taking precautions. A patient is inoculated with the monkeypox vaccine during a vaccination clinic at the OASIS Wellness Center, Aug. 19, 2022, in New York."As we have learned and seen with COVID, case numbers have a certain shape and what goes down can come up again," she said. "So, we can't rest on our laurels and think that's it over."
"The public can relax to a much greater extent than public health officials and hospital officials," she added.
