FEATURED TOPIC:
WHAT IS MONKEYPOX?
Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by a virus that occurs mostly in central
and western Africa. However, monkeypox infections also occur in other parts
of the world. The monkeypox virus can be transmitted from animals to humans.
These animals include different African rodents and monkeys. Once a person
becomes infected with the monkeypox virus they can pass it to other people.
Monkeypox is not a very contagious disease, and the risk of contracting
monkeypox is generally low. Recently there has been an increase in human
monkeypox infections in different parts of the world, including the US.

STATE SURGEON GENERAL DR. JOSEPH A. LADAPO ISSUES NEW MRNA COVID-19 VACCINE
GUIDANCE
October 07, 2022
Contact:
Communications Office
NewsMedia@flhealth.gov
(850) 245-4111
Tallahassee, Fla. — Today, State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo has
announced new guidance regarding mRNA vaccines. The Florida Department of Health
(Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, which
is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety.
This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of
cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA
vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of
vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related
death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have
these increased risks.
As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from
receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Those with preexisting cardiac conditions,
such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making
this decision.
“Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an
important component of public health,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo.
“Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals
have been dismissed – these are important findings that should be communicated
to Floridians.”
The analysis can be found here. The guidance can be found here.
