ALT 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.

ALT Heat exhaustion: Faint/dizzy, excessive sweating, rapid/weak pulse, nausea/vomiting, cool pale clammy skin, muscle cramps. Help person to a cooler, air conditioned place. Encourage them to drink water if they're fully conscious. Heat stroke: throbbing headache, confusion, may lose consciousness, rapid/strong pulse, nausea/vomiting, body temp above 103F, red hot skin.

ALT 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.
