The race to vaccinate those who are most at risk of monkeypox hasn't kept up with demand. Even with more appointments opening up, people have waited up to five hours in line for the two-dose shot and others have been turned away when supplies dry up.
The race to vaccinate individuals who are most at risk of monkeypox hasn't kept up with need and demand. Even with more appointments opening up, people have waited up to five hours in line for the two-dose shot and others have been turned away when supplies dry up.
It typically can take up to two weeks to develop symptoms of monkeypox after exposure. Symptoms often first appear as a rash that looks like blisters on the face and other parts of the body. That can be followed by flu-like symptoms including fever, head and body ache and fatigue. Some individuals never develop a rash or any symptoms at all. The illness typically lasts two to four weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More than 1,700 doses have been administered so far among San Franciscans. The City's inoculation strategy has been to distribute the shots to health clinics that work closely with gay and bisexual men and transgender people, who are currently being disproportionately impacted by the disease.
