Biden says ‘everybody’ should be concerned about monkeypox spread

President Joe Biden has said that “everybody” should be worried about the spread of monkeypox, adding that the US has a “vaccine that is relevant to treating” it.

The CDC has stated that people who are exposed to monkeypox, which has a slow incubation period, can be given existing smallpox vaccines to limit the severity of the sickness.

WHO adviser, David Heymann, said that “what seems to be happening now is that it has got into the population as a sexual form, as a genital form, and is being spread, as are sexually transmitted infections, which has amplified its transmission around the world.”

Public health authorities confirm that 80 cases were found in Europe, the US, Canada, and Australia with another 50 suspected infections awaiting confirmation.

Monkeypox is difficult to spread, but transmission can occur through contact with bodily fluids, monkeypox sores, touching clothing or bedding contaminated with fluids or sores, or through respiratory droplets during prolonged face-to-face contact.
