FDA authorizes plan to stretch monkeypox vaccine doses

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a new strategy to
try to stretch the country's short supply of monkeypox vaccines.

Health providers will now be able to split doses, in the hopes of
vaccinating up to five times as many people against the virus.

The country has become the global epicenter of the outbreak, with
close to 9000 known cases as of Tuesday, and no sign of slowing.
