Golden Leopard has this service. The Taichung Health Bureau has taken action.

This year, there have been a total of 51 Mpox cases nationwide as of October 15, of which 10 are in Taichung City. The local cases range in age from their 20s to their 40s. There were 6 locally reported cases from September to October. The Health Bureau reminds people to be more vigilant in epidemic prevention, especially by opening 6 Mpox vaccine outreach services before the end of the year, at the Golden Leopard Hotel, Adam Sanitation, Taichung Base and the Taichung Rainbow Parade in November.

The Health Bureau stated that there were 10 cases of Mpox in Taichung City this year, including 1 imported case and 9 local cases. The local cases ranged in age from their 20s to their 40s. Among them, there were 6 locally reported cases from September to October.

The Health Bureau stated that as the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, gatherings and social activities increase, and the public is reminded that pox is mainly spread through high-risk close contact. They should be more vigilant and take self-protection, and avoid intimate behavior with unspecified people through dating software. If you find that the other party has abnormal skin symptoms such as rashes, blisters, or pustules on the face or body during a date, you should avoid close contact to reduce the risk of infection.

If you have fever, chills, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, or skin rashes, blisters, macules, maculopapular rashes, pustules and other symptoms suspected of M-pox, please wear a mask and long-sleeved clothes and pants and seek medical attention as soon as possible. You should also proactively inform the doctor of recent activity and contact history in high-risk areas, so as to facilitate early judgment and immediate treatment by doctors to avoid the spread of the epidemic.

The Health Bureau pointed out that vaccination is currently the most effective way to prevent M-pox. 14 days after the first dose of M-pox vaccine, the protection against the disease is about 40% to 80%. After completing the second dose of vaccination, the protection can be increased to about 90%. Currently, in addition to the original M-pox vaccination services provided by district health centers and contracted medical institutions, the Health Bureau will also open additional outreach vaccination stations in saunas, business premises and large-scale events to facilitate eligible people to get vaccinated nearby.

The Health Bureau has recently planned 6 Mpox vaccine outreach services. 1. October 24, 2020 (Saturday): Taichung Base; 2. October 31, 2020 (Saturday): Adam Sanwarm; 3.
