“ A person who works at a day care in Illinois has tested positive for monkeypox and potentially exposed children, who are at higher risk for severe outcomes from the virus, state officials announced Friday.
Officials are screening children and others who were potentially exposed for symptoms, and the Food and Drug Administration is allowing the children to receive the Jynneos vaccine, which is authorized only for adults. The vaccine can prevent infection or reduce the severity of symptoms after exposure.
Authorities said no one else has tested positive and did not say how many people were exposed to the virus, which spreads by close contact to an infected person and is not airborne. State officials said the day-care worker is also employed in a home-health-care setting and that they were in touch with the affected client.”

Anyone who thinks they are not at risk should question why they are worried about the children, and the client of the infected person.
