   Monkeypox cases in D.C. have grown eightfold in the past week,   
   and cases are getting more severe, according to health officials.   
      
   As of Tuesday, there are 58 known cases of the viral disease in   
   the District. City health officials reported seven people had   
   the virus last Tuesday.   
      
   D.C. is among the regions of the country with the most monkeypox   
   cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and   
   Prevention.   
      
   Some of the latest patients to contract the virus have had to   
   seek care at hospitals, officials said.   
      
   "We have had individuals in D.C. who have been hospitalized for   
   pain control. This is not something, like, where it's just bumps   
   on your body. These can be very painful rashes and lesions on   
   your body," said Patrick Ashley, with the D.C. Department of   
   Health.   
      
   Health officials said they are using the JYNNEOS vaccine, which   
   is an FDA-licensed vaccine for the prevention of smallpox and   
   monkeypox. There's currently a limited supply of JYNNEOS,   
   however, and there aren't yet enough doses to keep up with   
   demand, officials said.   
      
   The federal government is releasing the vaccines based on the   
   number of mokeypox cases in each state, according to D.C. Health.   
      
   "They didn’t have nearly as many doses of the JYNNEOS vaccine.   
   We understand that number to be less than 100,000 vaccines that   
   they had available, and what they've told us is that they’ve   
   ordered millions more doses of that product. It just takes time   
   for them to be able to get that from the manufacturer," Ashley   
   said.   
      
   D.C. received more than 1,200 monkeypox vaccine doses on Friday   
   and made 480 appointments available on Tuesday. Those   
   appointments were filled within 90 minutes, DC Health said.   
      
   Only those in high-risk groups and people who have come into   
   contact with someone who tested positive for the virus can   
   qualify for the vaccine at this time, D.C. Health said.   
      
   Ashley warned it's important for people to see a doctor if they   
   develop a rash or lesions and to avoid all physical contact with   
   others.   
      
   "That includes, you know, intimate contact with individuals,   
   hugging, skin to skin. We want people just to be very aware that   
   this is going on in the community and to take appropriate   
   precautions," Ashley said.
