SAN DIEGO - Health officials in San Diego County are working with the LGBTQ+ community to prevent the spread of Monkeypox.
This includes developing messaging and materials to educate the community and to help administer the limited number of vaccines the county will receive to those most vulnerable. The vaccines will be given to bisexual and gay men, especially those with multiple partners, as well as those who were in close contact with people who've come down with the virus.
The county is sponsoring two vaccination events Thursday and Friday where about 800 doses will be administered to those most at risk. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 211.
