Weeks after the World Health Organization declared an end to the global health emergency around mpox, cases are on the rise in Chicago and suburban Cook County, leading officials to urge the public to take precautions ahead of summer.
According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 24 cases of the virus have been confirmed since March, with two additional probable cases.
“We are asking Illinoisans at risk for mpox to take precautions to reduce their exposure and get vaccinated – either for the first time or to complete the two-dose course,” IDPH Director Dr. Sameer Vohra said in a statement. “Mpox vaccine remains an important tool in stopping the spread of mpox, and may prevent serious illness.”
