The City of St. Louis Department of Health (DOH) and Saint Louis County Department of Public Health (DPH) wish to help the St. Louis community understand the importance and dispel misinformation and stigma about mpox. To do this, DOH and DPH have created the following social media images, printable brochures, and flyers for the public to download and share. Knowing accurate information about how to protect yourself is key to managing the mpox virus, as public health professionals learn more about this disease.
