WASHINGTON: "DC Health officials will hold a public town hall Monday evening to answer questions about the spread of monkeypox. The District is one of the hotspots in the U.S., with the most monkeypox cases per capita. Just as the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern, D.C. announced they would make more monkeypox vaccinations available. Mayor Muriel Bowser estimates D.C. will need approximately 100,000 vaccines.
D.C. currently has enough vaccinations for 70% of its eligible population to receive one dose of the vaccine. Those eligible includes:
-Gay, bisexual and other men 18 and older who have sex with men and have had multiple sexual partners or any anonymous sexual partners in the last 14 days
-Transgender women or nonbinary persons assigned male at birth who have sex with men
-Sex workers
-Staff at establishments where sexual activity occurs including bathhouses, saunas, sex clubs"
