Vaccines for Monkeypox

The peak or kind of the lesions that shed the most virus are the cutaneous lesions. That's really where a lot of the virus is being isolated from. And in patients who have been sampled from their oral farings as well as sampled from their rectum and sampled from their skin lesions, it's really those active skin lesions that are very infectious. The whole guidance about continuing to use condoms is an extra measure of precaution until we know fully whether this virus persists in the semen for any length of time.
