OTTAWA, Ill. — Canada’s chief public health officer says there are now 112 cases of monkeypox across Canada and all of those infected are male.
Dr. Theresa Tam told a briefing today that there are 98 cases in Quebec, 9 in Ontario, 4 in Alberta and one in British Columbia, with other suspected cases being investigated.
She says the National Advisory Committee on Immunization is recommending that people who may be at high risk of exposure have a vaccine.
But she says a mass vaccination campaign against the virus is not currently necessary.
