Information covered might include prevention, safer sex practices, signs &amp; symptoms, transmission, testing, treatment, and\/or vaccines.<\/li>\n<li>A library or community organization partners with a health department to offer flyers or printed information about monkeypox and the monkeypox vaccine at vaccine clinics. The flyers and information come from MedlinePlus and\/or CDC.<\/li>\n<li>Award recipient creates QR code stickers for condom packages. The QR code links to monkeypox information from MedlinePlus and\/or CDC. Award recipient distributes stickered condom packages for focused disease prevention and educational awareness at LGBTQ bars, community centers, health clinics, etc.<\/li>\n<li>A community organization, health department, or clinic creates short videos explaining what monkeypox is, how it does and doesn&#8217;t spread, what to do if you have monkeypox, and what to expect with the monkeypox vaccine.
