Monkeypox
Hazen Student Health Center is closely monitoring the global outbreak of monkeypox to plan and update the college's response, recommendations, and ensure we have all resources required. At this time, while still rare, monkeypox (Orthopoxvirus) has gained significant public health and media attention due to the unusual spread of cases globally, nationally and specifically in NYS. College's monkeypox website at: https://brockport.edu/life/health_center/monkeypox.html
It’s a rare, viral infection that does not usually cause serious illness, but can result in hospitalization. Symptoms can include fever, headache, muscle aches and backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills, exhaustion, and a rash that can look like pimples or blisters. Most people infected with monkeypox will get a rash.
