CDC data shows progress in monkeypox vaccine equity! And challenges, too -- fewer than half the 1.7 mill people the CDC considers at "highest risk" for monkeypox have been vaccinated. And among those who've been vaccinated, many have yet to come back for a second dose.

One thing I love to do in journalism is return to people. The end of the public health emergency had me thinking of many people I've spoken to over the last few years. Thankful to Pien Huang and Rhitu Chatterjee for jumping in with me. npr.org/sections/healt…
