Identity Health Clinic in Anchorage expects to receive monkeypox vaccines in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the nonprofit is educating people about the virus and addressing misconceptions about how it spreads.
“We suspect that those two folks have probably had some kind of contact with other folks in their lives, and it’s possible other people are incubating the virus as we speak,” Wiese said.
“You can have respiratory symptoms, like a runny nose, things that just seem like a cold or even COVID or the flu, and there’s probably virus in those fluids,” he said. “Transmission is possible through that route, but it probably requires prolonged kissing and face-to-face contact for that transmission to occur.”
People who aren’t infected should avoid close physical contact with people with flu-like symptoms, sores or rashes. And people should talk to their sexual partners about any recent flu-like symptoms or any new sores or rashes.
