According to CDC data, there has been only one new case of monkeypox recorded in Alabama in the last seven days. There have been a total of 171 since July. There is a vaccine available for the disease.
FILE - A vial containing the monkeypox vaccine and a syringe is set on the table at a vaccination clinic run by the Mecklenburg County Public Health Department in Charlotte, N.C., Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022. At-risk people who received just one dose of the monkeypox vaccine appeared to be significantly less likely to get sick from the virus, public health officials announced Wednesday, even as they urged a second dose for full protection.
Since then, every state and Washington, D.C. has recorded cases of the virus with the first U.S. death from monkeypox confirmed in Texas on Aug. 30. The primary hallmark of the virus is a rash, or “pox,” that develops in infected patients. Other symptoms include fever, chills, exhaustion, muscle aches, headaches, respiratory symptoms and swelling of the lymph nodes that lasts between two-four weeks.
Monkeypox spreads through close skin-to-skin contact with infected individuals or by coming in contact with infected body fluids. The virus can also live on surfaces for as long as 15 days. There is a vaccine available, and the Centers for Disease Control recommends getting one when you are eligible. You
