猴痘個案回升 做好防護減低感染風險
自今年 8 月以來,本港猴痘確診個案顯著增加,情況不容忽視。截至 9 月 30 日,累計今年錄得 29 宗個案,其中 22 宗屬本地感染。
衞生防護中心表示,近期部分個案涉及與陌生人發生高風險性接觸,而患者未能提供性伴侶聯絡資料,令接觸者追蹤及防控工作更加困難。為保障自身與社區安全,防護中心呼籲大家盡量保留性伴侶的聯絡資料。
另外,為方便高風險群組接種疫苗,油麻地綜合治療中心將於 10 月 24 日(星期六)加開服務時段,由上午 10 時至下午 1 時為合資格人士提供猴痘疫苗接種服務。當日只接受已預約人士接種。名額有限,請致電 2195 6588 查詢詳情及預約。
感染途徑與風險
猴痘主要透過與患者進行密切身體接觸傳播,包括接觸皮疹、體液,以及進行親密行為或高風險性接觸;一般的日常社交接觸並非主要的傳播途徑。
預防指引
🔶避免接觸: 勿與出現不明皮疹或異常皮膚病變的人士有密切接觸。
🔶主動接種: 高風險群組考慮及早接種猴痘疫苗。
🔶及早求醫: 若出現皮疹、發燒或淋巴結腫脹等症狀,應儘快就醫,並主動告知醫生相關接觸史。
及早正視、主動預防,是守護健康的最有效方法。
Mpox Cases Rising in Hong Kong: Take Steps to Reduce Your Risk
Since August, Hong Kong has seen a significant increase in mpox cases. As of 30 September, 29 cases have been reported this year, including 22 locally acquired infections.
The Centre for Health Protection noted that some recent cases involved high-risk sexual contact with strangers, while contact details of sexual partners were unavailable, making contact tracing more difficult. To protect yourself and support public health efforts, keep contact information about sexual partners whenever possible.
Also, an additional vaccination session for eligible higher-risk individuals will be held on 24 October, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Yau Ma Tei Integrated Treatment Centre. Limited spots are available, and booking in advance is required. Enquiries at 2195 6588.
Transmission and Risk
Mpox mainly spreads through close physical contact, including contact with rashes or body fluids, as well as intimate or sexual contact. Casual day-to-day social contact is not a major route of transmission.
Prevention Tips
🔶Avoid close contact with anyone who has an unexplained rash or skin lesions.
🔶Get vaccinated if you belong to a high-risk group.
🔶Seek medical attention promptly if you develop a rash, fever or swollen lymph nodes, and inform your doctor of any relevant exposure history.
