Six individuals have been diagnosed with monkey pimples in Iceland.
A total of six individuals have now been diagnosed with monkey pimples in Iceland. All are middle-aged men and all but two of them are transmitted abroad. No one is seriously ill and no one has had to be hospitalized.
Monkey pox is still widespread in many parts of the world and now about 6,000 people have been diagnosed in more than 30 countries. Most of those diagnosed are middle-aged men and most have been infected through sexual intercourse. Serious illness is rare.
A vaccine against monkey vaccine is still awaited in the country, but is expected in the coming weeks. It has not been finally decided how the vaccine will be used, but it will probably be available to individuals at risk and those who are considered to be seriously ill after being exposed.
Likewise, antiviral antiviral drugs have not yet been received and it is not known when they are expected.
