Monkey-Pox (M-Pox)
There is ongoing concern throughout the country and our state about the spread of Monkey-Pox. There are many questions about how to protect and prevent the spread and information is updated daily.
Thomas College is monitoring information from the Maine CDC for updates of concern. A list of resource websites are below:

- Stay home if you are sick
- Cough or sneeze into your sleeve
- Get vaccinated if you are due
