A total of 23 boys and girls companions of the minor who tested positive for monkeypox last week in Seville have been vaccinated by the Ministry of Health, leaving only two to undergo this prophylactic measure.
Health sources have informed EFE that another child is scheduled to be vaccinated this Monday, to end all vaccinations in the class, pending the evolution of both the minor and two adults in the family environment, the three who have tested positive.
Due to its possible impact on the school environment, the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs and the Ministry of Educational Development summoned the parents of the minor’s classmates last Saturday to inform them about the actions to be carried out at the center, as well as the preventive measures to take against this disease.
A message of reassurance was also conveyed to fathers and mothers, since, according to the accumulated experience with this virus, the disease generally presents mild symptoms.
The way Mpox is transmitted is, fundamentally, through prolonged and close physical contact, or through the secretions of the infected person, according to the Ministry, which has specified that a person without symptoms cannot transmit the virus, so the probability contagion in the school environment is low.
As a preventive measure, it is recommended that students in the affected class reinforce measures such as frequent hand hygiene, reducing social interactions as much as possible (class attendance is not included here), and constantly using a mask until May 12. March (date on which it is estimated there would no longer be a possibility of contagion).
