British experts have previously estimated there are more than 650,000 cases of chickenpox in England and Wales. Chickenpox is a highly infectious disease that mostly affects children and can cause an itchy rash, blisters and fever. The chickenpox vaccine recommendation will next be considered by the government. Experts noted, however, that Britain's government offers the shingles vaccine to adults at risk of the disease. Dr. Gayatri Amirthalingam, deputy director of public health programs at Britain's Health Security Agency, said the new chickenpox vaccine recommendations would “help make chickenpox a problem of the past.”

☆ Monkeypox may spread before symptoms appear, study suggests

From the start of the global monkeypox outbreak, researchers have hoped that people could only spread the virus once they developed symptoms. In addition to painful lesions, monkeypox symptoms can include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, muscle aches, back pain and fatigue. The study is the first to demonstrate that poxviruses, which include both monkeypox and smallpox, can spread in this manner. Past research suggested that asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission of monkeypox was possible, but only symptomatic transmission had been documented. With this new observation about pre-symptomatic spread, Freeman said, it may be impossible to reach a point of zero cases.
