NYC Reports First Case of Severe Mpox Strain; Vaccine Recommended for High-Risk Groups
New York City has confirmed its first case of the more severe clade one mpox strain, which can cause worse symptoms and higher fatality rates than the clade two strain. The infection is linked to recent travel and has not spread within the city yet. Mpox mainly spreads through close physical contact. In the US, cases have mostly appeared in the LGBTQ+ community. Symptoms include a painful rash and flu-like feelings. Health leaders recommend the JYNNEOS vaccine for high-risk groups to reduce infection odds and lessen symptoms if exposed. Vaccination options are available at nyc.gov/mpox or by dialing 311.
