Previous cases were in patients who had traveled internationally, but some new cases are in patients who haven't traveled outside of Texas.

State health officials haven’t said where in the state community spread is happening, but some of the monkeypox cases have been in North Texas.California has the most, with 89, followed by New York and Illinois.

Doctors said it can begin with flu-like symptoms, followed by the patient developing a rash that looks like pimples or blisters. "A lot of the people who are getting monkeypox are men who have sex with men who identify as gay or bisexual," Dr. Shuford said. "However, we know that this virus can spread between any people who are in close contact with each other if one of them has monkeypox."

The state said it is able to get vaccines for local health departments, via the strategic national stockpile."We don't have large stockpiles of that in Texas, but we have been able to access it very easily and have been told that we should be able to access it very easily in coming months as well," Dr. Shuford said.But they are working on educating people on the symptoms so people know to report it to a doctor.
