UPDATE SanFrancisco declares public health emergency due to monkeypox
The announcement came amid growing criticism that authorities have been too slow in deploying the vaccine, potentially missing the window to contain what could soon become an entrenched infectious disease.
The federal government is sending out more than 4,200 doses of the vaccine to San Francisco, though it's unclear when those shots will arrive. The quantity is slightly more than the number of vaccines received by San Francisco last week. KPIX 5 spoke with Frank Strona, the San Francisco Department of Public Health's lead on the city's monkeypox response, on Thursday.
Strona also said those people who are unable to get the monkeypox vaccine need to do as much as they can to reduce their risk of exposure. Lines stretched for blocks in Berkeley Wednesday with a number of people being turned away. Santa Clara County also held a monkeypox vaccine clinic Wednesday, but again officials said they didn't have enough doses to accommodate everyone who wanted the shot.
