Santa Clara County is going with an invitation only approach when it comes to monkeypox vaccinations due to a low vaccine supply.
According to the county health department's website, the limited doses available will only be given to those meeting strict CDC criteria. Specifically, people must have official verification that they've been exposed to the virus.
As health leaders try to balance their limited vaccine supply, they're also engaging local health providers and LGBTQ organizations to help increase education about the virus and the vaccine. "The department of public health contacted us about doing a community forum on July 21 in the evening at 6 o'clock," Billy DeFrank LGBTQ Community Center President Gabrielle Antolovich said.
