  Influenza Flu Information »

Monkeypox is a disease caused by infection with monkeypox virus that can affect anyone. The virus can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that often begins on the face and spreads to other parts of the body. Monkeypox does not spread easily to people without close contact. CDC is tracking an outbreak of monkeypox that has spread across several countries that don’t normally report monkeypox, including the United States. The monkeypox virus is spreading mostly through close, intimate contact with someone who has monkeypox.

Please see the following links for more information about monkeypox. If you suspect you have monkeypox or have been exposed, please call 973-720-2360 and ask to speak to a nurse. Due to the contagious nature of monkeypox, please do not walk into our center without calling and speaking to a nurse first.
