you know, we were fortunate that we did have a vaccine available and treatments available for monkeypox. but obviously the challenge as you mentioned is that the supply is quite limited, which is why the fda approved the fractional dosing to essentially split one dose into five. so to give a fifth of the dose five. to give a fifth of the dose between the skin layers, from giving one dose subcutaneous which is usually done with the vaccine, with that able to vaccinate 2 to 3 million people. however, the process of getting the vaccines has been cumbersome and inefficient, because they re using the usual stockpile. and not the usual system for the covid vaccine. so state officials are very, very frustrated at this point. seems like there s not a lot of communication between federal officials and state officials and obviously public health officials are quite overburdened
