According to reports, the most common Covid-19 symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, fatigue, runny nose, joint pain, headache, shortness of breath, chest pain, loss of sense of smell and taste and gastrointestinal issues. The symptoms of monkeypox, on the other hand, are similar to those of smallpox. These include fever, rashes and swollen lymph nodes. These symptoms usually last between 2 and 4 weeks.
According to a report on uhhospitals.org, we already have a vaccine for monkeypox. The smallpox vaccine or a newer smallpox/monkeypox vaccine that came out in 2019 can prevent the disease in a person who has been exposed or who is at the risk of being exposed, such as a caregiver or household contact. Coronavirus, on the other hand, was a novel disease which required the development of a new vaccine.
