WAKE COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Wake County Public Health (WCPH) announced three new confirmed cases of mpox within the last six weeks.
Mpox is a virus in the smallpox family.
WCPH is now encouraging those at risk for the virus to get vaccinated.
They are now accepting walk-ins and appointments for the mpox vaccine.
The Centers for Disease Control voted to recommend routine mpox vaccines to prevent high-risk infections last October.
Back in 2022, the World Health Organization renamed monkeypox as 'mpox,' citing stigma and discrimination concerns.
