Monkeypox cases have now been confirmed in more than a dozen U.S. states. SciLine’s next media briefing will cover: science basics about the virus that causes Monkeypox, including transmission dynamics and current U.S. case spread; prevention and treatment options, including existing vaccines and their limitations; and lessons learned from COVID-19 and other outbreaks that can inform the country’s public health response to Monkeypox.
Featured experts include three scientists: Dr. Anne Rimoin of the University of California, Los Angeles; Dr. Inger Damon of the CDC. Dr. Amira Roess of George Mason University. They will brief reporters and then take questions. The discussion will be moderated by SciLine Director Rick Weiss.
When/Where: 2-3 p.m. EST, Tuesday, June 21 (online)
