Smaller doses of monkeypox vaccine got the OK. Here’s how that works at one clinic

LA Times  

Mark Webber and Doug Brown rose before dawn to make the trip from Agoura Hills, arriving around 6 a.m. at the Leimert Park clinic in the hopes of getting vaccinated against monkeypox. People wait in line to get vaccinated against monkeypox at a St. John’s Community Health site on Wednesday in Los Angeles. “And we don’t want to give people a false sense of security.” Although the shifting strategy around the vaccine has raised questions and concerns, the deputy coordinator of the White House monkeypox response said that the group hit hardest by the virus so far — men who have sex with men — has generally shown confidence in getting immunized, with COVID vaccination rates “well over 90%.” For monkeypox, “we will likely still run out of vaccines before we run out of arms,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis said. As cases have risen, “I fear it’s going to get worse before it gets better.” People wait in line to get vaccinated against monkeypox at a St. John’s Community Health site in Los Angeles. “Everyone says it’s not a big deal,” Brown said, “until it’s a big deal.” AIDS has also been on the mind of Jim Mangia, president and chief executive of St. John’s Community Health, as he sees gay men and others confront monkeypox as a health threat.
