A specialist in internal medicine and consultant for tropical diseases and infections from RSUPN Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM), Dr Robert Sinto SpPD, K-PTI, explained that this prioritization aims to ensure that vaccines, which are limited in quantity, are used as optimally as possible for people who need it.

“We can also prevent transmission without a vaccine. “There are many steps that can be taken,” explained Robert.

One preventive measure that can be taken is to maintain personal hygiene and health and avoid close contact and sexual relations with monkey pox sufferers.

“This is something we need to do, with or without the availability of vaccines that the government has prepared for us,” he said.

Previously, the Ministry of Health reported a new case of monkey pox in DKI Jakarta on October 14.

The patient was confirmed to be infected with monkey pox after going through a series of tests and is a native of DKI Jakarta. The patient also has no history of travel abroad or out of town.

“Monkeypox Virus Transmission and Vaccine: Everything You Need to Know”

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com May 11, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

How is the monkeypox virus transmitted?

Monkeypox is transmitted when a person comes into contact with the fluids of another person, animal, or even through certain materials contaminated with the virus.

From person to person, the virus is transmitted through thick drops of saliva: via the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes and mouth. In this sense, relatively prolonged close contact is required for the virus to be transmitted effectively.

Is there a vaccine against monkeypox?

Yes, the point is that this vaccine is the one used to combat ‘traditional smallpox’, so to speak. However, it is also useful in stopping the transmission of the monkeypox virus.
