So far nine Alaskans have been tested for monkeypox, and all were negative.

“We’re expecting our first case any day now,” Alaska state epidemiologist Dr. Joe McLaughlin said on Monday. McLaughlin said the federal government is expected to send more vaccine doses to Alaska soon. Plus, once the state sees its first case, additional vaccines and treatment courses are expected to come in fairly quickly, he said. The state will use its existing vaccine distribution network to get doses out to rural areas as needed.
“This is really a disease that health care providers in the United States generally have not ever seen before, unless they worked in West Africa or Central Africa where there is monkeypox circulating,” he said.
