"Los Angeles Times" quoted data reports from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stating that the number of crisis cases in California is second only to New York State. Last week, San Francisco and New York successively announced the emergency state of public health; on Monday, Illinois and California also announced similar decisions.

It is reported that the cases of monkey acne in San Francisco and Los Angeles have increased by about two -thirds of California's total of nearly 800 cases of acne. Last week, the total number of suspected and confirmed cases in Los Angeles County almost doubled, and increased to 400 cases on Monday. In San Francisco, as of Monday, a total of 310 cases were reported, an increase of nearly 44%over a week ago.

In the United States, the JynneOS vaccine has been approved to prevent monkey acne, but it is still not required throughout the United States. Due to the shortage of vaccine, the crisis of the monkey acne epidemic has further intensified. So far, California has received a total of 61,000 doses of vaccine, which has distributed over 25,000 doses of vaccine. But health officials said that at least 600,000 to 800,000 doses were needed.

Public Health officials in Los Angeles County said that because the vaccine inventory from the federal government is very limited, they have formulated the conditions for vaccination restrictions and provided only to the highest risks. Officials expressed their hope of getting more vaccines.

"Los Angeles Times" quoted Google Trend Data show that 8 of the top 10 U.S. urban regions were found in the top 10 U.S. urban regions to find nearby monkey acne vaccines last week.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Governor of California announced an emergency state that will allow more health workers to participate in vaccination, such as emergency medical staff and caregivers, and make inoculation in community clinics easier. This is also aimed at improving the local people's understanding of monkey acne, and enabled the California government to reduce administrative procedures in increasing the response to the budget of monkey acne epidemic.

In the statement, Newson stated that "California governments at all levels are urgently trying to slow down the spread of monkey acne and use our enhanced detection capabilities, contact person tracking and community partnerships during the (new crown) to ensure that those who are the most risks are the most risks. It is the focus of our vaccine, treatment and community services. "

The report pointed out that this move aims to make the vaccine received by California to be vaccinated faster, but it cannot solve the most urgent challenge facing the state: the United States ’short vaccine in the country.
