The monkeypox vaccine is available at Cougar Health Services (CHS), and students in impacted populations are encouraged to get the vaccine. CHS also has testing for monkeypox and can help identify the proper course of treatment for those who contract it.
Faculty and staff are asked to share this information with students, especially those in populations currently eligible to receive a vaccine, and encourage them to get vaccinated and seek testing and treatment if they have symptoms.
More information about the vaccine, testing, and treatment is available on the CHS website. Students can schedule vaccines through their patient portal or by calling CHS at 509‑335‑3575.
Faculty and staff seeking monkeypox vaccination and/or treatment for themselves can find more information on the Washington State Department of Health website.
