Monkeypox cases are now in all 50 U.S. states after Wyoming reported its first case on Monday, prompting the state to offer vaccines to gay and bisexual men and their partners.

Dr. Alexia Harrist, Wyoming’s health officer and epidemiologist, said Monday that public health officials from the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) are investigating if the male patient from Laramie County had direct contact with anyone else.
