SC DHEC continues to urge citizens that there is not any cause for alarm from the current outbreak of monkeypox or MPX as the health agency is calling it. SC DHEC is stressing that at-risk communities, specifically men who have sex with other men, contact the CareLine for a vaccine appointment at more than 14 locations across the state. That number is 1-855-472-3432. You can find out more information on scdhec.gov/MPX.
