Santa Barbara County Public Health Department (SBCPHD) reminds residents about the importance of receiving the two doses of Jynneos vaccine for optimal protection against Mpox (Monkeypox). According to local data, only about half of Santa Barbara County residents who have received a first dose of Mpox vaccine is still in need of a second dose for the optimum level of vaccination. As the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) continues to monitor Mpox, it has recently detected one positive wastewater sample for Mpox in several California cities, including Santa Barbara.
