Here is everything you need to know about the origin, infection, vaccines, and treatment of monkeypox.
According to the CDC, monkeypox lesions appear differently throughout their stages and can look like pimples or blisters, and not necessarily in the location where the initial contact was made. The resulting rash may be found on the face, mouth or anywhere else on the body. Patients report that the sores are excruciatingly painful and often itchy.
"We have 100 million doses of ACAM2000," National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said in late June, but its side effects mean that it "would not be worth giving it widely throughout the general population."Because monkeypox is rare, no tests determine if you have the disease until the open sores appear.
Booster doses are recommended every two or 10 years if a person remains at continued risk for exposure to smallpox, monkeypox or other orthopoxviruses. Your health care provider can give you more information. The World Health Organization announced in a news release in May that the current outbreak has been identified within gay and bisexual communities and among men who have sex with men. However, "it is important to note that the risk of monkeypox is not limited to men who have sex with men," the agency said.
However, the smallpox vaccine wasn't the only vaccine to cause a scar -- The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin or BCG vaccine, protected people against human tuberculosis.
