Montgomery Co.’s COVID community level ‘high’ as monkeypox cases rise

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Maryland now has 149 documented cases of monkeypox. But in Montgomery County, the supply of monkeypox vaccine is limited, according to County Executive Marc Elrich. “We won’t get any more doses until September, and that’s why the Health Department has established a preregistration program for anyone interested in the MPX vaccine,” he said.
