Abstract

Objective: Data are presented on the perception of pandemic risk due to the outbreak of monkeypox cases in Central America. Materials and Methods: A single question was used: To what extent do you consider that monkeypox could become the next pandemic? The survey was administered between July 8 and July 22, 2022. Results: The data indicate that there is a low perception of risk in the surveyed population, with only 22.7% to 31.1% of the sample believing that Monkeypox could become the next pandemic. Conclusions: These data should serve to guide disease literacy actions and establish government preparedness and response measures.
