Dozens of San Franciscans lined up outside of the monkeypox vaccine clinic at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital early Monday, hoping to get a dose as the city entered day one of its health emergency triggered by a growing outbreak.
"We know that this virus impacts everyone equally – but we also know that those in our LGBTQ community are at greater risk right now," San Francisco Mayor London Breed added. "Many people in our LGBTQ community are scared and frustrated. This local emergency will allow us to continue to support our most at-risk, while also better preparing for what's to come."
Some of those gathered to celebrate the Dore Alley Fair over the weekend said they were taking precautions. "I'm trying to keep my distance," said attendee Chris Cashion."If I get it, I'll have deal with it and I'm not going to let it defeat me." As monkeypox cases continued to increase in San Francisco, the demand for vaccine remained high. San Francisco health officials initially requested 35,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine from state and federal officials to meet the needs of San Franciscans.So the line began growing in the early morning hours Monday outside the clinic at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and stretched down the block. It was not immediately known how long the supply would last.
