Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee will be joined by members of Congress Friday to advocate for a dramatic increase in the supply of monkeypox vaccine in the United States.
A news conference is scheduled to take place at 10 p.m. KPRC 2 will carry a livestream of the event.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden declared monkeypox a national health emergency. The declaration follows the World Health Organization’s announcement that the virus was a global health emergency.
