News release
On 11 June 2022, Harun Tulunay fell ill with fever. At first, he thought he had COVID-19, but then he started to worry that it felt like something else.
“My lymph nodes felt achy, really painful and swollen. My fever went up to 39.6 °C. I was taking ibuprofen and painkillers to keep myself from shivering. On day 5, I just lay on the sofa, unable to move, unable to sleep. I felt alone and the pain was unbearable.”
A few weeks earlier, several cases of monkeypox had been detected in countries in the WHO European Region. As of 14 July, the total number of confirmed monkeypox cases in the Region exceeded 8900. France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom have reported the highest numbers, but cases have been reported from 35 countries and areas throughout the Region. ...
Harun has advice for the public
“I want people to watch out for themselves. Be considerate, kind, and isolate if you have symptoms. Be alert and watch out for symptoms such as rashes, fever and muscle aches. Also, be your own health advocate and know your rights. There is a vaccine available, so ask for it. And if you have monkeypox, ask for treatment.”
If you live in a country where the vaccine is available to you and your close contacts, take it. If you think you have been exposed to someone with monkeypox, immediately contact your doctor or health-care provider, who will be able to provide you with the right advice.
For people who are contacts of cases, WHO recommends post-exposure prophylaxis with an appropriate second- or third-generation vaccine, ideally within 4 days of first exposure.
Depending on the availability of a vaccine, some countries also include strategies for vaccinating all people at high risk of exposure, as determined by the epidemiology. ...
