The city’s health department began offering the two-dose JYNNEOS vaccine at Chelsea Sexual Health Clinic on Thursday for people who may have been exposed to the virus. Within hours, no more walk-ins were available, and all appointments were booked.
As appointments dwindled on Thursday, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said the city had only received 1,000 doses.. “We need the feds to dramatically up our allocation ASAP.”
In a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul on June 24th, state Sen. Brad Hoylman, Councilmember Erik Bottcher, and Levine urged the governor to “work with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to procure additional doses of the monkeypox vaccination for New York City.”Although anyone can get monkeypox, most cases in the current outbreak have affected men who have sex with men.
“With such a substantial at-risk population, the fact that New York City has received a one-time allocation of merely 1,000 doses is unacceptable,” they said. The disease is characterized by a rash or sores that look like blisters or pimples, which can be all over the body or just in certain areas. People may also experience flu-like symptoms like fever, swollen lymph-nodes or headaches before or at the same time as the lesions.
