DHEC is responding to the 2022 US outbreak of monkeypox (MPOX) virus to ensure the health and safety of all South Carolinians. We are following CDC guidance to monitor contacts of known patients and identify any infected people in our state. DHEC is vaccinating those at higher risk to stop the potential spread of the virus. Learn more about DHEC’s response efforts.

Latest case counts, vaccinations

DHEC reports confirmed cases of mpox daily to the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); view the CDC's MPOX tracker map for current cases by state.

NOTE: Beginning Feb. 1, 2023, the CDC will be updating national mpox case and vaccine data every two weeks. DHEC will follow the CDC's new reporting schedule; the next report will be posted Feb. 17, 2023

As of Friday, Feb. 3, 2023, there have been 236 cases of mpox reported in South Carolina. There have been two new cases reported since the last report.

A regional breakdown of cases in South Carolina is as follows:

46 cases in the Lowcountry, 85 cases in the Midlands, 30 cases in the Pee Dee, 75 cases in the Upstate region.

DHEC is responding to these cases and vaccinating high-risk contacts with a safe, FDA-approved vaccine for mpox.

Unlike COVID-19 or other viruses that pose a larger threat to the public, mpox vaccinations at this time are not recommended for the general population because of the specific way the virus spreads. They are currently only recommended for those who are part of high-risk groups.

On Aug. 29, 2022, DHEC changed the way it gives people mpox (Jynneos) vaccine. The new method, which is approved by the FDA and CDC, calls for giving intradermal shots just under the first layer of skin. This replaces subcutaneous shots into the fat layer farther below the skin.

Before this change, a full vial of Jynneos vaccine was used to vaccinate someone. The new way takes less than a vial, meaning each vial of vaccine now contains multiple doses. This will allow more South Carolinians who are eligible to get vaccinated. The new way of giving the vaccine is just as safe and effective as the way it was given at the beginning.

Before this change, the number of vials of Jynneos vaccine DHEC had received was equal to the number of doses available. Now up to five (average of three to four) doses can come from a single vial. In order to provide the best data to compare vaccine use over time, DHEC each week will report the total number of vials received in the state, each of which contains one to five available doses.

To date, South Carolina has received 4,287 vials of Jynneos vaccine from the federal government and has given 4,373 total vaccinations.

Visit the mpox Demographic Information page for additional information on the reported mpox cases and mpox vaccinations, as of Jan. 28, 2023.

Jynneos vaccine is being made available through DHEC and select private clinics to those most at risk of exposure. You may search for options near you on the mpox vaccine provider map. DHEC is accepting appointments for vaccination at selected clinics for:

Mpox cases have declined significantly from the peak of the U.S. outbreak, but very low-level transmission continues. The risk to the general public is low; however, people who have been identified as being at high risk for infection can still possibly be exposed. DHEC continues to recommend that individuals at high risk get vaccinated and take steps to avoid exposure.

As of Feb. 1, 2023, eligibility for Jynneos vaccine was expanded to allow vaccination for any person who believes they are at risk of exposure to mpox as described in the initial criteria. The definition of those at risk remains the same. Those at high risk for whom vaccination is recommended is anyone who is likely to have direct, unprotected contact with someone infected with mpox.

People can either call the DHEC Care Line (855) 472-3432 or go online to confirm eligibility and to schedule an appointment. The vaccine is not recommended for the general public or healthcare workers right now.

Unlike COVID-19 or other viruses that pose a larger threat to the public, mpox vaccinations at this time are not recommended for the general population because of the specific way the virus spreads. They are currently only recommended for those who are part of high-risk groups.

Visit the CDC’s mpox vaccine administration page for updated information about doses administered.

Acquisition marks E Tech's third add-on since Falfurrias' platform investment in 2018

WEST CHESTER, Ohio, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Falfurrias Capital Partners today announced E Tech Group's acquisition of E-Volve Systems, a leading provider of industrial automation, controls engineering and computer systems validation to clients in the life sciences, food and beverage, and consumer products industries. Terms were not disclosed.

Automation, engineering and systems integrator E Tech Group purchased E-Volve Systems, its third add-on acquisition.

The deal is E Tech's third add-on acquisition since Falfurrias' original platform investment in early 2018, following the integration of Glenmount Global Solutions later in 2018 and Superior Controls in 2019. The combined company is one of the largest independent engineering and systems integration firms in the United States, with 15 offices across the country and more than 400 engineers on staff.

E-Volve will operate under the name "E-Volve Systems, an E Tech Group Company." Founder Kevin Stout and partners Jason Antolovich and Vivek Puthezath will remain with the company, and no significant employment changes are anticipated in E-Volve's Merrimack, New Hampshire, or Cincinnati, Ohio, offices.

"What excites us most about combining E-Volve Systems with E Tech Group is the ability to offer more talented engineers to serve more clients in more places," said E Tech CEO Matt Wise. "This partnership will also enable us to expand our presence in the life sciences category while adding truly differentiated capabilities, including E-Volve's advanced managed service offering. We have been impressed with the recurring services business that E-Volve has developed, and we look forward to leveraging that practice across our organization."

Said E-Volve's partners in a joint statement: "As legacy E-Technologies and Superior employees prior to founding our company in 2011, we have tremendous respect for the platform and are confident this will be a seamless transition that will quickly pay dividends for customers of both companies. We're also excited about the career opportunities other members of the E-Volve team may enjoy as part of a larger, fast-growing organization like E Tech Group."

"When we first invested in E Tech Group back in 2018, we saw tremendous growth potential through both acquisitions and organic growth as part of our 'Industry First' approach," said Ken Walker, a partner at Falfurrias who also serves as Executive Chairman of E Tech Group's board of directors. "This partnership is a great fit across the board, from the companies' service offerings to their geography to the long-standing relationships among the key principals."

DHEC Announces First Confirmed Cases of Monkeypox Infection in South Carolina

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:COLUMBIA, S.C. ― The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has confirmed two cases of monkeypox infection. One case is in a person in the Midlands region and the other is a person in the Lowcountry region.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

COLUMBIA, S.C. ― The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has confirmed two cases of monkeypox infection. One case is in a person in the Midlands region and the other is a person in the Lowcountry region. The affected individuals will be monitored until they are no longer infectious to prevent spread of the virus and will be isolated if needed. Appropriate care will be provided as needed.

“We understand residents have concerns about how this virus might impact our state,” said Dr. Linda Bell, State Epidemiologist. “We expected infections to eventually occur in South Carolina as part of the larger international outbreak, which is why DHEC has been planning a response for weeks. That said, monkeypox doesn’t spread easily and we believe the risk to the general population remains low at this time.”

Midlands and Lowcountry regional epidemiology staffs are completing contact investigations and offering post-exposure vaccination to people exposed to the individuals who are infected. Those people also will be monitored to determine if they develop an infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been notified, and DHEC continues to follow CDC guidance in the monkeypox response.

Monkeypox is a rare but potentially serious viral illness. The typical illness begins with flu-like symptoms and swelling of the lymph nodes that progresses to a rash on the face and body, but we are learning that many cases in the current outbreak do not have the typical onset and the rash may only appear on part of the body. Most infections last two to four weeks. Monkeypox is a reportable condition in South Carolina as a novel infectious agent. Healthcare providers are asked to notify DHEC of any patient that they suspect may have monkeypox to receive guidance about the recommended evaluation.

Monkeypox is not easily transmitted from person to person. It can be spread through prolonged face-to-face contact, skin-to-skin contact including sexual contact, and through contaminated materials (clothing or linens of an infected person).

If you are concerned that you have been exposed to someone with monkeypox infection or have a new, unusual rash, please seek medical attention from your usual healthcare provider, visit an urgent care center, or call your local health department.

Though the risk to the general population remains low, we encourage the public to inform themselves about monkeypox through reliable sources, including the DHEC website and the CDC website.

McCOLL — On the outskirts of McColl, SC, a village from the past is coming to the future. On 15 acres of tribal land, the Pee Dee Indian Tribe (PDIT) is seeking to preserve and rejuvenate their cultural heritage.

The land was donated to the tribe in 2014 by the late Dr. and Mrs. C.W. Love of McColl. That’s when the work started, and it continues to this day. Using mostly small grants from a variety of agencies, the tribe is steadily making improvements to the property. Their first act was to clear the land. Chief Pete Parr says the Lutheran Ministry in Columbia, SC, volunteered to help and sent equipment and people to get the job done.

Since then, various structures have been added. There is a Cultural Center where classes on tribal traditions are held. Further back, a new administrative building is mid-construction. When complete, this building will house a tribal meeting area, a kitchen, a nurse’s office, and other office space. Towards the back of the property, a dock abuts the wetlands. In the future, a grant from the conservation group Dogwood Alliance in Asheville will allow them to build board walks as part of a nature trail through the swamp. There is the beginnings of a replica ceremonial mound which were a vital part of Pee Dee religious and social ceremonies and feasts. Several brush arbors, which are covered open-air shelters, ring the dance area. There will be a space for pow-wows and for a garden.

The tribe also plans to construct traditional huts from different time periods. According to John Lentz, a member of the cultural committee who will oversee the building of the huts, they’ll start with wattle and daub structures. He said, “ These will be rectangular structures made of woven sticks and mud with a broom straw roof. In the past, we had some wigwams, which are circular or oval shaped, made entirely of broom straw. We’ll do some of those too.”

The end goal of all this, Chief Parr says, is to bring our culture back to our people. The younger generations need to learn and practice their heritage.

“That’s why we’re out here today having classes,” Chief Parr said. “The women are learning to make hair ribbons worn with their regalia to social dances. The men are learning how to make a blowgun, which is how our ancestors hunted. Our tribe used to be a farming society, but a lot of people don’t know how to grow their own food anymore. Our garden will help them learn to live off the land as our people used to. We are going to have monthly sessions.”

Other traditional practices the tribe intends to engage in are language classes to keep the Pee Dee Mvskoke dialect in circulation, making dugout canoes, and beading classes.
