    I agree with teapot.

    the supply of JYNNEOS available for distribution through the end of this year is estimated to only be sufficient to immunize half of the individuals at highest risk for monkeypox

    .

    More specifically, ACAM2000 may not be appropriate now for a potentially immunocompromised population.

    “Population” just means “group of people with this particularity” in epidemiology, not “the american population.” Nothing in the text you shared suggests america is immunocompromised

      Regardless of what the letter says, it’s a moot point. A year and a half later the general pop of the US is largely immunocompromised. Unless you’re living under a rock, it’s pretty obvious that we are living through a mass disabling event and humanity is on the path of mass immune dysregulation
