By Ethan Covey

Low-level transmission of mpox is still occurring, primarily among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (MSM), according to findings from a recently published study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The ongoing transmission reinforces the need for healthcare professionals to promote mpox vaccination, particularly among high-risk individuals (MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2024;73[22]:507-513).
