Austin Public Health is requesting testing supplies and vaccines from the federal government to help address the potential spread of monkeypox in the area. | sangitamenon

last week the expansion is expected to get test results to people with symptoms faster so they can access treatment and their high-risk contacts can get vaccines early in the course of disease., one of which is in short supply. The other should not be used by people who are pregnant, have a weak immune system or have certain skin conditions like eczema.

A spokesperson for APH said while the department is expected to receive vaccines within 24 hours of a request, the CDC is approving distribution on a case-by-case basis depending on availability and how close a person was to an infected person. The CDC expects 99% of people infected with the current strain of the virus to survive, though symptoms can be painful and there may be permanent scars left from the rash. The disease could be more severe or result in death for people who have compromised immune systems, have a history of eczema, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under 8.
