Back to school is a good time to brush up on knowledge of common infections. Remember- this is only a guide. The only way to know for sure is by getting tested, especially if you are at high risk for severe COVID-19 illness or the flu. ow.ly/I3az50KqMMx

Earlier this week, we confirmed Oregon's first pediatric case of monkeypox (hMPXV): ow.ly/yGO950Korqm We've updated this post to focus on the risk monkeypox poses to children.
The risk of monkeypox (hMPXV) spreading in school settings is low because monkeypox is mainly spread through prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Not like COVID-19. Less transmissible, and risk of spread through touching surfaces is extremely low. Kids can get rashes for many different reasons. If anyone develops a new rash like pimples/blisters and feels sick, call your health care provider or call 211/local public health to get help finding a provider or clinic.

One way you can protect your child this school year is getting them vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19. Learn more about special COVID-19 vaccination events this month and ongoing clinics across Oregon for kids of all ages: ow.ly/e81850Ke7hx
If you're visiting your child's health care provider for back-to-school immunizations, ask about the free COVID-19 vaccines, which help prevent kids from getting very sick from COVID-19. It's safe to receive a COVID-19 vaccine or booster at the same time as other routine vaccines. If you don't have a health care provider, contact 211 or a local health center.
