In Los Angeles County, monkeypox vaccines are available to people confirmed by the Department of Public Health to have had high- or immediate- risk contact with a known monkeypox patient, and to people who attended an event or visited a venue where they was a high risk of exposure to a confirmed case.
Those people are generally identified through county contact-tracing efforts, and they will be notified by the county.
Those referrals are available for gay and bisexual men and transgender people with a diagnosis of rectal gonorrhea or early syphilis within the past year. People who believe they fall into any of the criteria can contact their health care provider to see if that provider can administer the vaccine.
