New York City has since become the second major US city to declare monkeypox a public health emergency.
"This action by the FDA is a critical step forward in our plans to strengthen and accelerate our monkeypox response, which includes distributing a safe and effective vaccine to those at highest risk of exposure to monkeypox.", immunizations were only offered to those with known exposure. Now the US is planning a vaccination campaign that will offer the Jynneos vaccine to anyone with a knownpresumed exposure.
The CDC advises that"people who may have symptoms of monkeypox, such as unknown rashes or lesions, should contact their healthcare provider for assessment." As of August 1, the CDC also advises that"people with monkeypox remainfor the duration of illness." The CDC suggests those remain in isolation for the entire duration of illness, which typically lasts two to four weeks.
Anyone with new lesions related to illnesses like chickenpox, herpes, or syphilis, should also be checked for monkeypox too, as symptoms are quite similar, per the CDC. Risk factors for monkeypox include in-person contact with someone who has a similar rash or someone that has received a diagnosis of confirmed or suspected monkeypox, anyone who has contact with individuals in a social network experiencing monkeypox infections, and those who have traveled to countries where monkeypox cases have been reported. Additionally, people experiencing flu-like symptomsthe above risk factors should self-quarantine.
