Syringe [ [link removed] ]
Monkeypox (hMPXV) is a disease that can affect anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The virus can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, and rash. Monkeypox (hMPXV) can spread to any individual from anyone who has the virus through direct contact with rashes or scabs, respiratory droplets from face-to-face interactions, or close, intimate contact.
There is a limited supply of the JYNNEOS monkeypox (hMPXV) vaccine in New Jersey. Monkeypox (hMPXV) vaccinations are provided to eligible residents at no charge to the individual. Anyone with a known exposure within the past 14 days should contact their health care provider or *local health department [ [link removed] ] *regarding testing and vaccine eligibility. Local health departments will conduct contact tracing and offer the vaccine to anyone identified as a close contact.
For residents with known exposure to a person with monkeypox (hMPXV), the two-dose regimen of the monkeypox (hMPXV) vaccine for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is available through their local health department.
For those without a confirmed exposure who believe they may have been exposed or are at high risk for having been exposed to monkeypox (hMPXV), the vaccine is available through community vaccination sites.
Residents are eligible to receive a vaccine at community sites if they meet one of the following criteria:
* People who attended an event where known monkeypox (hMPXV) exposure occurred within the past 14 days
* People who had multiple sexual partners in the past 14 days in areas where monkeypox (hMPXV) has been reported
Vaccination is available for eligible residents at* selected locations [ [link removed] ]* by appointment only.
