Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said it was likely that the San Diego County government would align with the state on the matter.
The proclamation enables emergency medical services personnel to administer monkeypox vaccines that are approved by the FDA, similar to the statutory authorization recently enacted for pharmacists to administer vaccines.
"Governor Newsom and our California Department of Public Health have put us in a position of strength when it comes to addressing monkeypox outbreaks by declaring an emergency," he said."Our county has been working with the community to distribute vaccines and information, and this action by the state will allow them to better support our county as we administer services."
As of Monday, a total of 824 monkeypox cases were confirmed in California — the second-highest of any state, behind New York's 1,390 — while nationwide, the aggregate count was at 5,811, according to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
