In California, health officials recently expressed concern about the emergence of a new, deadlier form of Mpox. This variant, known as Clade I, was diagnosed in three gay or bisexual men in Long Beach and Los Angeles County. None of those affected had received the Mpox vaccination and there are no known links between them.
What’s particularly alarming is that none of the men have recently traveled outside of California, suggesting that the virus is spreading within the community. The Clade I variant has a mortality rate of 1.4 to 10%, making it significantly more dangerous than the Clade II variant that was widespread in the United States in 2022.
Health authorities in California confirmed in a press release that the spread was local. All three men have been released from hospital and are in home isolation. Experts emphasize the importance of vaccination, especially for people with weakened immune systems, as they are at higher risk of serious illness.
With the upcoming Palm Springs Pride event attracting large numbers of gay men, experts strongly recommend getting vaccinated. Dr. Phyllis Ritchie of PS Test in Palm Springs recommends making sure you have received both doses of the Mpox vaccine to ensure maximum protection.
Dr. Carlton Thomas, a respected health expert, recently hosted a discussion about the new Mpox cases in Los Angeles County and directed the public to the website empoweredagainstmpox.com to find the nearest vaccination site.
