While speaking at a virtual conference on Friday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said she was cautiously optimistic about these reports.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe have started to see globally that we may be turning a corner,\u201d Dr. Walensky said. \u201cWe in the United States had our first case about two weeks after some of the European countries that we have also started to see turn around and, as you note, or turned downward. As you note, there are certain jurisdictions, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, that are starting to report that they\u2019re starting to see a downward trend. I want to be cautiously optimistic about these, not only because of the downward trend, but because of the AMIS (American Men\u2019s Internet Service) data that Dr. Daskalakis just noted.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Walensky raised concerns about the so-called racial disparities in vaccine delivery despite the Biden administration saying they will have shipped at least three-million vaccines by the end of their next phase in addressing the outbreak. She pointed to several factors which included the lack of trust in public health initiatives from the federal government among other reasons.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cNow the administration data also show that among the first doses given, the majority of recipients have been adults age 25 to 39, with around 53% of first doses administered in this age group so far,\u201d stated Walensky. \u201cThe majority of first dose recipients, 92% have been males, and 6% of doses have been administered to women. Regrettably, we at the CDC are not receiving data by gender and are unable to report it as such.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite this, Walensky announced that the organization will begin promoting the equitable distribution of monkeypox vaccines and will work with communities to ensure their deliveries are to those who have a high risk of contracting the virus.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cGiven the early evidence of racial and ethnic disparities in monkeypox vaccine administration, the CDC remains committed to reducing the impact of health disparities by collaborating with jurisdictions on provision of educational materials and promotion of equitable access to monkeypox vaccines,\u201d the doctor said. \u201cWe\u2019re also working with communities to provide vaccine and harm reduction education at large events attended by groups at highest risk for monkeypox right now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So far, over 17,000 monkeypox cases have been reported in the United States. The virus mainly spreads between men who have sex with other men, but recent reports from health officials suggested that it can spread to everyone.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mar-a-lago-affidavit-acknowledges-trump-admin-officials-claim-that-president-trump-previously-declassified-seized-docs\/\">Mar-A-Lago Affidavit Acknowledges Trump Admin.
