81 cases of monkeypox confirmed in British Columbia
B.C. health authorities have reported 69 cases in Vancouver Coastal Health, and six each in Island Health and Fraser Health.
Twenty-eight European Union/European Economic Area countries have reported over 13,000 cases according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control on Aug 4. While anyone can become infected with the disease, more than 90 per cent of current cases have been found in men who have had sexual contact with other men and at this time there is no evidence as to why it is spreading more within this group, Bach said.Currently, only 2SLGTBQ+ people are eligible for a smallpox vaccine to treat monkeypox due to this group’s higher risk of illness and lack of vaccine accessibility in the province, due to low case counts.
