May 18, 2023 marks one year after the first case of mpox (monkeypox) was identified in the country as a part of the 2022 outbreak. A year later, the World Health Organization and the U.S. government public health emergency declarations for mpox have ended. Cases in the U.S. continue to remain low after last summer’s deployment of vaccines and treatments, but there was a recent small outbreak in Chicago, raising questions about where we are today.
