San Francisco residents voiced their concerns at Thursday's board of supervisors meeting over the city's response to the monkeypox outbreak.
This comes as monkeypox cases in San Francisco and the Bay Area continue to rise, hitting the LGBTQ community hard. Dr. Stephanie Cohen of the San Francisco Department of Public Health said the city has received less than 8,000 doses, despite requesting 35,000 doses. Cohen said that the city is now prioritizing first doses until the supply improves.
“It seems there are failures at multiple levels that need to be dissected because we should have had a vaccine out to states in large quantities at the beginning of June,” she said.
