Marion County Health authorities reported the first two probable
cases of monkeypox on Wednesday, July 13.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed
ten cases of monkeypox in Indiana so far. The first case was
reported on June 18. Until this week, there were no known cases
in Marion County.

In a press release, the Marion County Health Department said the
risk of transmission among the general U.S. population is still
very low.

“Even though the risk of transmission is very low here, we all
need to be aware of the facts about this virus, including risk
factors and how it’s spread,” said Dr. Virginia Caine, director
and chief medical officer of the Marion County Public Health
Department. “We are still learning more about monkeypox and
encourage anyone with concerns about their health to contact a
primary care physician or health care provider.”

Globally, there have been more than 1,600 cases of monkeypox in
35 countries and territories, and the numbers are rising. The
West African monkeypox virus –– which is believed to be the one
circulating globally now –– has a 1 percent fatality rate and
potentially higher rates in people with weakened immune systems,
according to the CDC. No deaths have been reported globally.

Monkeypox symptoms include fever, headache, chills, muscle aches
and exhaustion, usually before a rash develops.

The virus can spread through:

Direct contact, including sexual contact, with the rash or sores
of an infected person (the most common way the virus is
spreading)
Contact with objects like towels and bedsheets of an infected
person.
Contact with respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-
face interaction, or during intimate physical contact.
During pregnancy, the virus can spread to a fetus through the
placenta.
The CDC recommends that anyone with a rash that looks like
monkeypox should speak with their health care provider, even if
they don’t think they came in contact with an infected person.
Anyone with active monkeypox symptoms should isolate at home in
a separate room from others.

The agency also recommends people at higher risk of infection to
consider vaccination after consulting with their health care
provider.

According to the CDC, there are two FDA approved vaccines
available to prevent monkeypox –– JYNNEOS (also known as
Imvamune or Imvanex) and ACAM2000. Data is not yet available on
the effectiveness of these vaccines in the current outbreak.

There is a shortage in JYNNEOS vaccine doses, but according to
the CDC website, more doses are expected within the coming weeks
and months. As of July 1, 474 doses of the JYNNEOS vaccine were
shipped to Indiana, according to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services.

The ACAM2000 vaccine should not be used in people who are
pregnant, have weakened immune systems or have skin conditions
like atopic dermatitis or eczema.

According to the Indiana Department of Health’s monkeypox
outbreak response, “Indiana has gathered a multi-disciplinary
advisory group of health care clinicians, pharmacists, public
health academics, minority health stakeholders, ethicists and
community advocates to develop Indiana’s tiered allocation
approach of this limited vaccine.”

Those with questions about qualifications for the monkeypox
vaccine should contact their health care provider or local
health department.

In 2003, the Midwest saw a monkeypox outbreak. The virus came
through a shipment of animals from Ghana to Illinois. It spread
to pet dogs, which then came in touch with humans. At that time,
47 people caught the virus and all appear to have recovered
without spreading the virus to anyone else.
