Health officials around the world have already warned of an increase in cases of monkeypox in male gay and bisexual communities. But the disease has spread quickly, especially among gay men. Most of the early cases in the US were in people who had just returned from a trip abroad. There are 35 reported cases in New York state. New York City began rolling out the vaccine last Thursday in preparation for their Pride celebrations. JYNNEOS is a vaccine to treat smallpox and monkeypox that was first approved in the US by the Federal Drug Administration in 2019. LA is now offering the JYNNEOS vaccine to “individuals at higher risk of monkeypox.” There are now 51 reported monkeypox cases in California and 199 cases nationwide, according to the CDC. Thousands of people lined the city’s streets to celebrate the parade’s return after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, according to the Los Angeles Times.Īs of June 2, there were only three cases of monkeypox across California, NBC News said at the time. The warning comes after a month of Pride celebrations in the city, including Pride in the Park on June 11, a concert that drew over 20,000 people and included a performance by Christina Aguilera and the city’s parade on June 12. “Anyone can get and spread monkeypox, but some of the recently identified cases have involved gay, bisexual, and other men who have had sex with men attending large events where exposure to monkeypox may have occurred,” the Los Angeles Department of Public Health said in a statement. Los Angeles records 22 cases of monkeypox after Pride events as health officials say the outbreak is widespread in the gay community.
