The Biden administration on Thursday declared monkeypox a public health emergency as the virus continues to spread across the country. But critics have argued that this will not solve existing challenges, including a shortage of monkeypox vaccines, sources told The Washington Post. President Joe Biden on Tuesday appointed FEMA’s Robert Fenton as the White House National Monkeypox Response Coordinator and Dr. Demetre Daskalakis as Fenton’s deputy. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the city is working to get more vaccines, according to NY1. “We declare public health emergencies based on the data and the science, not on our worries,” Becerra told CNN’s Poppy Harlow.
