The Hawaiʻi Department of Health (DOH) is reporting three additional cases of monkeypox.

The three newly reported cases are all Oʻahu residents. This brings the total number of statewide cases  to 28.  This number includes three non-residents. DOH continues to conduct contact tracing and follow-up with all reported cases.

The JYNNEOS vaccine is available statewide to Hawaiʻi residents who:

• Had close contact in the last 14 days with a person with known or suspected monkeypox infection;
• Are gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender individuals who have multiple or casual sex partners (e.g., such as through dating apps)

DOH and healthcare providers in each county who directly reach individuals at higher risk of monkeypox exposure continue to vaccinate eligible individuals.
