Ontario not seeing rapid monkeypox case growth, Dr. Moore says
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said monkeypox will likely be around for “many, many months” due to its lengthy incubation period of up to 21 days, but Ontario isn't seeing exponential growth of the virus.
Public health says most cases are among men who report intimate contact with men but says anyone can get monkeypox. “Over 8,000 individuals have been provided the smallpox vaccine, which we think has good protection against monkeypox,” he said. “Normally this dose of vaccine has two doses 28 days apart,” said Moore. “We're reviewing if we have to go back to those 8,000 individuals and provide a second dose.”
