king soopers vaccine :: Article Creator Even With King Soopers, Walmart Added To Vaccine List, It's Still Tough ... DENVER (CBS4)- The COVID-19 vaccine program is picking up steam with vaccine going directly topharmacies, like King Soopers and Walmart, without cutting into the allocation to states. But it is still tough to get appointments for the shots. (credit: Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images) Clyde Mancuso of Centennial is trying to get a COVID vaccination for his wife. "Very unsuccessful last night trying to get scheduled for anything," he said. It should be getting easier. King Soopers is now one of the businesses getting the Moderna vaccine directly from the government through the Federal Retail Pharmacy program. But when Mancuso went online to make an appointment what he got was "sorry there are no available time slots at this location. Try another." "I did that at 12-15 King Soopers locations, and it wa...

What does monkeypox look like compared to 7 other skin conditions - Insider

  • Monkeypox causes a rash that can look similar to other illnesses such as acne, herpes or syphilis.
  • Two dermatologists told Insider the key differences between monkeypox and seven other rashes.
  • Monkeypox spreads through close contact with an infected person or from touching contaminated items.

Monkeypox can cause a rash that looks similar to other illnesses, including herpes or syphilis  — but there are some key differences, dermatologists told Insider. 

Alongside a fever, a rash is one of the main symptoms of monkeypox. A recent study found that of 528 monkeypox cases diagnosed in 16 countries between April and June of this year, 95% had a rash, Insider previously reported.

Monkeypox has spread rapidly in recent months. More than 21,000 people across 344 countries have caught it in an unusual outbreak that began in May outside of regions where it is typically found, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows. In the US, there were 4,907 confirmed cases as of Thursday, mostly in New York.

A high number of cases have been diagnosed in gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, according to the CDC, but it is not a "gay disease." Anyone can catch it from having close contact with an infected person or touching contaminated items such as bedding.

Pregnant people, kids under 8 years old, those with eczema, and people with weakened immune systems may be at risk of severe monkeypox. 

Don't try to diagnose new rashes at home, doctors said

Dr. Carrie Kovarik, a professor of dermatology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, told Insider, "We don't expect patients to diagnose themselves, but I think having monkeypox on their radar at least is good, especially for patients who may be at risk for more severe disease." 

Other diseases can cause similar rashes, and it's possible to be co-infected with monkeypox and another infection.

"My message is these skin conditions are not things that you should be trying to diagnose or manage yourself at home," Dr. Esther Freeman, director of Global Health Dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital, said.
