In preparation for the summer season and Bay Area Pride celebrations, the San Mateo County Health Department encourages vaccination against Mpox, also known as smallpox.
The Bay Area and other parts of the country are experiencing a resurgence of Moxifloxacin cases. After more than six months without a reported case, San Mateo County recorded a new case of the virus this week.
Unlike COVID-19, which spreads rapidly through the air, Mpox's risk to the body is low.
