NEW YORK -- New York City is approaching 500 confirmed monkeypox cases and is considered the epicenter of the United States' outbreak. The health commissioner expects the number to grow significantly as testing ramps up.
Meanwhile, the city continues to finetune its vaccination program, opening three pop-up clinics Sunday at Aviation High School in Queens, Bushwick Education in Brooklyn and Bronx High School of Science.
Health care and LGBTQ leaders are warning monkeypox will continue to spread among gay men and other Americans if more isn't done to address vaccine shortages and help health professionals combat the virus. They are demanding more testing kits, vaccines and additional health workers to limit the outbreak.
