MPV (Monkeypox)
We are sharing the following information from the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) about monkeypox (MPV) so you can stay informed and share information as needed. For more information about MPV, please visit the CCDPH’s website: https://
Since mid-May, the CDC, state and local health departments have been closely tracking an outbreak of monkeypox (MPV) that has spread across several countries that don’t normally report the disease, including the United States. On July 23, 2022, the World Health Organization declared MPV a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. On Aug. 1, 2022, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker declared MPV a public health emergency in the state of Illinois, to rapidly mobilize all available public health resources to prevent and treat MPV and ensure smooth coordination at all levels of government.
As noted on https://

Attached is a document of Frequently Asked Questions (PDF). AgeOptions encourages you to review this FAQ as well as the CCDPH webpage (https://
