According to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, a child under 2 was presumed to be positive for monkeypox after testing for the virus on Tuesday.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — The monkeypox virus has shown that it’s not confined to one group, with rare cases now seen in minors.
During a conference, Hidalgo stated they’re still trying to figure out how the virus was contracted as the parents said the child was not in a day care or school setting. Vaccines were offered to anyone who may have been in direct contact, but no one has tested positive. Hidalgo made it a point to reassure parents as their kids return to school that it is a rarity for children to catch monkeypox.
Although experts say it isn’t necessarily unexpected for kids to contract the virus, it is very unlikely.
