New Jersey is opening up two new monkeypox vaccination sites in Camden and Bergen counties, open to residents who believe they may have been exposed to the virus or who are at high risk of exposure.

Gov. Phil Murphy urged federal officials in a letter this week to send the state more vaccine doses — citing its proximity to New York, which has seen the greatest number of cases in the U.S. State health officials have said they expect to see 2,700 doses this week, nearly doubling the state's supply. That still only accounts for about 2.06% of the 131,000 doses available nationwide, the governor wrote in his letter. And he said state health officials estimate New Jersey can expect to account for at least 3% "of the disease burden."
Murphy also noted that while monkeypox can spread between any two people with close contact, most cases have been among men who have sex with men or other members of the LGBTQ community. He said limited data suggests the areas of New Jersey with the greatest concentrations of same-sex households overlap significantly with the areas that have the greatest population density. The state does not have robust data on where members of the LGBTQ community live, he said.
