DURHAM COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Durham County Department of
Public Health has confirmed the first case of monkeypox in the
county.

Public health officials say the person is currently isolating,
and close contacts have been notified.

Those close contacts are now eligible to get the monkeypox
vaccine. Health officials said the vaccine is effective and
safe; anyone exposed to monkeypox should get vaccinated within
14 days after being exposed.

Health experts are quick to point out that an exposure for
monkeypox requires close contact. The virus is not nearly as
contagious as some viruses, like COVID-19.

"I think it's really important to know that it comes from close
contact, prolonged, close contact. hugging, a person that has a
confirmed case, kissing, sharing utensils--really that very
close contact of a person that's been confirmed to have that,"
Dr. Nicole Mushonga said.

Some health providers are also singling out some LGBTQ
individuals as possibly being at higher risk, but without
context that worries some LGBTQ advocates.

"Saying that one population is at a higher risk is just really,
really dangerous for us to go into," Candis Cox said.

Cox is the vice chair for the LGBTQ Center of Durham. She is
working to prevent the community from being stigmatized by
monkeypox infections.

"We have to educate the providers, we have to educate the
population. It is not something that is translated simply
because of sexual contact. That would make it an STI. It is not
that," she said. "It is a virus that is contracted through
bodily fluid."

This case in Durham comes days after Wake County Public Health
confirmed its first case.

On July 6, Wake County Public Health confirmed the first case in
that county.

That patient is also isolating at home and Wake County staff are
working with them on contact tracing, health officials said.

Nearly 900 cases of monkeypox have been identified in the United
States. DCoDPH continues to work closely with state and national
partners to monitor the current national outbreak and respond
within Durham County.

"We have been working with the state and the CDC to track the
spread of monkeypox for several weeks now, and we have been
prepared to respond upon confirming our first case here in
Durham," said Durham County Health Director Rod Jenkins.

DCoDPH is currently offering appointments for individuals to
receive Jynneos, a vaccine to prevent monkeypox illness or lead
to less severe symptoms in individuals recently exposed to
monkeypox, if they meet certain criteria.

Monkeypox is a rare but potentially serious viral illness that
typically involves flu-like symptoms, swelling of the lymph
nodes and a rash that includes bumps that are initially filled
with fluid before scabbing over.
