Latinos have accounted for almost 30% of all cases, and city health officials are working to raise awareness amid a lack of vaccine doses.
Health officials in San Francisco are raising awareness about the growing number of monkeypox cases, especially among the Latino population. The city is recommending that community members protect themselves amid a limited supply of vaccine doses.
Lines grow out the door at San Francisco General Hospital on Thursday after monkeypox vaccine doses entered a shortage.“In order for us to be able to control the further spread, we need more vaccines right now,” Sanchez said."It is imperative that we vaccinate as many people as we can with the doses that we get.
Because of the limited supply in San Francisco, members of the LGBTQ community, who are most at risk, and people who have been exposed to the virus within the last 14 days have gotten priority for vaccine doses.
