Health officials won't reveal the ages of the three cases among the juvenile patients other than they are under the age of 18.
"That's why we ask adults to be very careful around children if you have any symptoms or monkeypox," said Christian Grisales with Dallas County Health and Human Services."What you need to do immediately is to isolate, get tested and if you get qualify for the vaccinated immediately."
DCHHS said it has no plans to widen the criteria for the vaccine which remains available only to certain categories of men who engage in sex with other men. "Should you keep your kids home from school? No. Monkeypox is very rarely a fatal disease," said Dr. James Pinckney. Pinckney, founder and CEO of Diamond Health, said the few cases among children should not be considered a serious concern. "I think what we should do is continue to be cautious, monkeypox has spread to individuals that typically aren't contracting disease," Pinckney said.
