With summertime in full swing on Cape Cod, there's growing concern about the spread of monkeypox.
The MPV outbreak comes on the heels of 2+ years of the coronavirus pandemic, and there is worry in the health community about fatigue, related to being vigilant for yet another danger.
"Information about MPV is absolutely critical, knowing the symptoms to MPV is how we stop the spread of it," Cyr said. Health advocates say they worry people will tune out their message when they need to hear it the most. "I hope that people don't tune this out," said Dr. Ken Mayer, the medical research director and co-chair of the Fenway Institute.Mayer says, sure, MPV is not as dangerous -- or as contagious -- as COVID, but the medical community is still very worried.
"I think we are living in a world now where every pandemic, is a day's plane ride away so we have to get used to the fact that we may see more of these," he said."This is a preventable disease."
