The small pox vaccine has an efficacy rate of 85% against monkey pox, and it's readily available and can be used now. And considering how this disease spreads through skin contact (lesions), body fluids, respiratory droplets and since it is not airborne like (Covid-19), the precautions needed to protect oneself are pretty straightforward..
Just wear a mask when you get outside, don't stand too close to strangers, stay away from crowded places, always take & use a hand sanitizer when you're at public places, no hand shakes, use your eyes to see if others in front of you have any of the described symptoms of monkey pox.. Etc.
