Infectious disease was first recorded in 1970 but a surge in cases has led to global health emergency

What are the symptoms of monkeypox?

“So far, in the cases we have seen in New South Wales, monkeypox is not presenting the way some people expect, such as an extensive rash or lesions all over the body,” he said. “It could just be a couple of what seem to be pimples in the genital area or buttocks, so people need to pay careful attention to any potential symptoms.”

“Because of this, these vaccines are not recommended for mass vaccination,” NSW community health organisation ACON said. Instead they are targeted towards the most vulnerable groups, such as close contacts of cases and health workers treating cases.ACON, which works with the LGBTQI+ community, said: “ACON and our partners are working with health authorities to facilitate vaccine access in Australia as quickly as possible, particularly for higher risk groups in our communities.

monkeypox is “not highly transmissible from person to person” there needs to be a public awareness campaign, especially targeting at risk groups such as men who have sex with men, as most cases have been identified in this group. ACON has advised its communities to regularly monitor for symptoms such as unusual rashes, lesions or sores or a fever, muscle aches or swollen lymph nodes.
