An outbreak of mpox, formerly called monkeypox, could see a resurgence over the coming months, the CDC said.
A spokesperson for Chicago's health department told CBS News that the city is currently working with the CDC on sequencing virus samples collected from the cluster of cases."Specific vaccine doses or lots may be compromised. So when we have a cluster of people who had been vaccinated but now are infected, we want to look at that to see if there are common lots among them," Braden said.
The cluster could be the result of random chance, a sign that authorities have been reaching vaccines to the communities most at risk of infection or simply that vaccinated cases are more likely to be detected by health authorities. The vaccine may also be waning in immunity faster than authorities had hoped or lower than previously estimated. Braden said the CDC has three new vaccine-effectiveness studies that are expected out this week.
