MONKEY POX 

Monkeypox is a rare but serious disease
causing illness, including a rash or sores (pox),
often with accompanying flu-like symptoms.
Most cases in the U.S. have been mild to date,
though the infection can be painful

The first “probable” case of monkeypox in eastern Jackson County was reported Wednesday by the Jackson County Health Department.
This news comes several weeks after the first case of the infection in Jackson County, in Kansas City, was reported in mid-June.
It was also the first case in Missouri.
On July 9, Johnson County reported its first case,
which was also the first report of the infection in Kansas.
As of Tuesday, there are at least 24 monkeypox cases in Missouri, and three in Kansas.
At least four of those cases are in Kansas City.

Eastern Jackson County is defined as all parts of Jackson County, excluding the city limits of Independence and Kansas City.

The following precautions are important:

How it spreads:

-Direct contact with infected lesions, rashes, scabs, or fluids

-Contact with contaminated materials like clothing or linens 

-Respiratory droplets from prolonged face-to-face contact (monkeypox is not thought to be transmitted in the same way as COVID-19)

-Across the placenta to the fetus among pregnant people 

Vaccine:
There is a vaccine available to treat Monkey Pox.
At this time, it should only be used for post-exposure
and on a case-by-case basis
