Illinois day-care worker tests positive for monkeypox, officials say, but no cases reported in children - CNN

The worker is in isolation and is "doing well." The day-care center has also been cleaned.

Vohra said the US Food and Drug Administration has made the monkeypox vaccine available for the children "without jumping through the normal hoops in this process," so parents of children exposed to the virus can get their kids vaccinated.

"Pediatricians are on-site as we speak to screen children for cases, and there are mobile testing and vaccines for their families," he said.

The day-care worker also works in home health care, and public health officials are in contact with an affected client.

Public health officials asked parents to let disease investigators contact them if their child is affected.

"If your child has had the potential of being exposed to this outbreak, you will receive a call from the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District.

You do not need to call day-care centers.
