Description

Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with MPV (monkeypox virus). It was first discovered in 1958. The virus is spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, contact with contaminated clothes or linen, or contact with respiratory secretions from an infected individual. Scientists are currently investigating how often it is spread via respiratory secretions. The virus is usually abbreviated as MPV, but sometimes as MPX as well. Join us at PCWT for a vaccine clinic where we can learn the risk factors and preventative measures that we can take to mitigate the spread of this disease. We will have local health authorities on hand to answer any questions and ease any fears.
