Monkeypox
We are concerned about rising cases of monkeypox in NYC. Monkeypox in NYC is currently spreading primarily among men who have sex with men, and the vaccine is important, especially for those who may have been exposed. Getting vaccinated after a recent exposure reduces the chance of getting monkeypox, and it can reduce symptoms if you do get it. If you’re at risk, visit this dedicated NYC Health webpage to learn more.
According to Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine:
-
8,000 more appointments to be added over next two weeks,
-
New vax locations being added: Bronx Science HS, Bushwick Ed (Bklyn), Aviation HS (Qns), Vanderbilt Clinic (SI) in addition to NYCHealthy’s existing Chelsea, Harlem, and Corona Sexual Health clinics,
-
To get real time alerts on the availability of monkeypox vaccine in NYC, text MONKEYPOX to 692692. Para español: MONKEYPOXESP
We are disturbed that it has been a struggle to get adequate vaccines to NYC. We are grateful that some of our LGBTQ elected officials have been aggressively (and successfully!) advocating to procure more vaccines for our communities, especially CBST’s City Council member Erik Bottcher (District 3) and CBST member NY State Senator Brad Hoylman (District 27).
