CBSN
Long lines formed outside clinics from New York to San Francisco this weekend as the nation's vaccine supply struggled to keep up with the monkeypox outbreak. Federal health officials are increasing the number of doses available as they expect the number of monkeypox cases will continue to increase through August.
Another 131,000 monkeypox vaccine doses were made available to states. Health officials ordered nearly 7 million doses but most of those are not expected to arrive for months.
On CBS' "Face the Nation," former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, "The window for getting control of this and containing it probably has closed, and if it hasn't closed, it's certainly starting to close."
