Dallas County received a shipment of more than 5,000 monkeypox vaccines to help treat the virus outbreak.

The case was identified in a Dallas County resident who recently traveled internationally. About 35 cases have now been identified across 14 states and Washington, D.C., this year, according to the CDC.
