**Assignment Specific Presentation Instructions:**

· Present a brief verbal summary of the topics in the prompt questions below. Be sure to include the following information:

· What is a zoonotic disease?

· What is mpox?

· What are the characteristics of mpox – specifically:

· What type of pathogen causes mpox – is it a bacterial infection? A fungus? A virus?

· How is mpox related to smallpox?

· What are the symptoms of mpox?

· How is mpox spread to others?

· Are there any current treatments for mpox infection?

· What is “ring” vaccination? Is this the same as “herd immunity”?

· There are currently two FDA-approved vaccines for mpox mentioned in the reading material.
**Select one (1) type and describe it in detail:**

· What is the name of your vaccine and what does your vaccine selection consist of (in other words, what exactly is injected into the body to elicit an immune response)?

· How does this vaccine confer resistance to mpox?

· If mpox becomes more widespread, discuss your personal opinion of whether mpox vaccination should be mandatory for partaking in public social activities, school, travel, etc.
