The video discusses the limited supply of monkeypox vaccines and the FDA's authorization to change the administration method to intradermal, allowing more doses per vial. This decision comes after the Biden administration declared monkeypox a public health emergency. The new method is being implemented in Los Angeles County, increasing the number of vaccination sites.
