Since monkeypox was first detected in the city nearly a month ago, 105 Chicagoans have been diagnosed with the virus, health officials said.
The cases have mostly involved men who have sex with men, officials said. The city has begun to offer targeted vaccinations.
“I do expect that number to continue to grow,” said Chicago Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady. Health officials are reacting quickly to the spread, and the disease “is not COVID,” she said.
