Wastewater surveillance indicates there likely is some community spread occurring in some jurisdictions. Here are the 6 sites that have had positive detections in the last two weeks. Fortunately 88% of national sites haven't had any recent detections.

If you are in an at-risk population and eligible for the vaccine don't pass it up. We could see a resurgence this summer as people start gathering more. We just got vaccine effectiveness data from multiple studies and the vaccine is highly effective if people receive both doses. While mpox in this outbreak is rarely fatal, it can be a very painful and debilitating disease.
