The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness says COVID-inspired monkeypox disinformation is all over social media and it could incite panic.
New Jersey has nearly doubled its number of sites for monkeypox vaccination — widening access as the number of confirmed cases of the virus approached 300.
I’ve had COVID twice. Everyone in my family has had it even though we are double vaxed and boosted. Somehow, after all of this pandemic nightmare, I can wrap my mind around COVID now. I try not to but if I get it, I get it. I know what it is for me now. However, when I hear the words Monkeypox, it sends chills down my spine and it is a bigger problem than you think.
With more than 40 confirmed or probable cases, the state has widened its access to the vaccine used to help patients try and avoid some of the rare virus' symptoms.
With nearly 30 probable or confirmed cases in New Jersey as of mid-July, at least one regional vaccine storage hub was setup to help deal with monkeypox.
