Here's an actual link to the article, as I found that the Advocate web site didn't have a navigation option for their Health articles:

Any ages on the people that contacted it? I'm curious as to how well the smallpox vaccine works at preventing monkeypox, those of us over 50 were for the most part vaccinated for smallpox.

I read somewhere several weeks ago that the efficacy rate was around 85%.

That is the efficacy rate published for new vaccinations.  They never seem to have updated the rate because smallpox was wiped out.  There have been questions about the efficacy of the vaccine over 50+ years.

No source thus far has released any report of the number of people infected.  One source from 6/13/22 said that 1 person had been infected ; other sources said "a handful".  The source that said 1 person had been infected from IML specifically said that the # of cases in Chicago at that point was 7, which was an increase of 5 cases from a pervious period.  However another more recent source said that Chicago now has 13 cases of monkeypox.  Therefore the number of people likely infected at IML <= 7 (the 1 person reported to have been infected at IML + the increase in cases afterward).  This will be inaccurate esp. as the incubation period of monkeypox can be two weeks (a Dutch study shows that the mean incubation period is 8.5 days) so more cases might roll in.

" If you do not feel well or have an unusual rash or sores, take a break from sex and going out to bars, gyms, clubs, and other events." <= *EXACTLY* the same kind of ridiculous data free doltish, imbecilic messaging from 1981 ... where is the data?  The past 41 years have proven that data analysis across a wide spectrum of society is needed to robustly address public health issues.

The only sure way to find that out would be experimentally... and the necessary experiment cannot ethically be done. In theory one could look for antibodies, but that wouldn't give an actual efficacy number.
