Individuals living, working or spending time in close quarters with others are at higher risk of exposure to illness due to the length of time people are together and sharing the air.
These settings include places like childcare and schools, nursing homes, and correctional facilities.
As community members, we can each do our part to keep the community healthy by taking reasonable precautions when sharing space with others, especially in high-risk settings, and by staying home when sick.
Monkeypox vaccine continues to be available in the region and recommended for those at risk for exposure to monkeypox. There will be a mobile monkeypox vaccination clinic from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, November 5th, at 208 Edgemont Blvd on the ASU campus in Alamosa.
