   ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —   
   The Florida Department of Health announced Friday that Orange   
   County has reported its first case of monkeypox.   
      
   The health department states the case in Orange County is a   
   person in his or her 30s who did not acquire monkeypox from   
   travel. The patient is now in isolation.   
      
   This is not the first case in Florida. The health department has   
   previously reported eight cases in Broward County and one in   
   Collier County.   
      
   The virus is only spread through very close contact.   
      
   Doctors say the early symptoms are like the flu: fever and   
   chills, but then a rash can start on the face and move all over   
   the body.   
      
   The rash can move across your palms, your soles, as well as   
   sometimes inside your mouth. These rashes sometimes can be   
   painful as well.   
      
   "Most people do recover from monkeypox without any issues at   
   all, sometimes it takes two to four weeks to get full recovery   
   of it," Dr. Rajiv Bahl in Orlando said.   
      
   The World Health Organization is creating a new vaccine-sharing   
   mechanism to stop the spiraling outbreak of monkeypox in more   
   than 30 countries beyond Africa.   
      
   The move could result in the U.N. health agency distributing   
   scarce vaccine doses to rich countries that otherwise can afford   
   them.   
      
   To some health experts, the initiative potentially misses the   
   opportunity to control monkeypox in the African countries where   
   it’s infected people for decades.   
      
   They say the program might repeat the inequity in vaccine   
   distribution that was seen during the coronavirus pandemic.   
      
   The mechanism was proposed shortly after Britain, Canada,   
   France, Germany, the U.S. and other countries reported hundreds   
   of monkeypox cases last month.
