You are correct, but it needs to be determined it’s actually monkeypox which is rare outside of Africa and who are the initial spreaders to determine which variant of monkeypox. There are 2 vaccines, both are licensed only for people considered at high risk of contracting the disease because they are not entirely safe. In the 2003 Monkeypox outbreak in the U.S., smallpox vaccine was deployed to persons considered at high risk only.
