by The Canadian Parvasi
After reports of four new cases of mpox, previously known as monkeypox, popping up in a single day, Toronto Public Health (TPH) is urging at-risk individuals to get the vaccine for the viral illness.
Toronto Public Health (TPH), in a news release on Wednesday, urged individuals at risk of contracting the infectious illness to get both doses of the vaccine Imvamune, adding that those who have already got the first dose can get the second after 28 days.
Dr. Eileen de Villa, medical officer of health, stated in the news release, “Vaccination remains the best way to protect against severe outcomes from mpox…As the virus continues to circulate, it is important for at-risk groups to complete a two-dose vaccination series as soon as they are able. We continue to work together with community partners who enable greater access to at-risk groups.”
