Monkeypox Update
Monkeypox is prevalent to several Central and West African countries. Prior to May 2022, cases outside of Africa were reported either among people with recent travel to Nigeria or contact with a person with a confirmed monkeypox virus infection. The CDC is tracking multiple clusters of monkeypox that have been reported in early- to mid-May in several countries that don’t normally report monkeypox. According to the CDC, monkeypox cases are very rare in the United States, but cases have been reported associated with international travel from areas where the disease is more common. We are keeping a close eye on reported and presumptive cases of monkeypox in the U.S. For additional information, please visit the CDC’s website or contact your entity’s infection prevention team with any concerns.
