SF has identified 141 cases of monkeypox to date but the health department anticipates more cases will occur.
This week, SF received only 4,164 doses of the vaccine from the federal stockpile, the health department said. To date, only 7,700 doses have been allotted to SF; SFDPH has requested 35,000 doses to begin to meet the need.
San Francisco Supervisors blasted the public health response to the ongoing global monkeypox outbreak on Thursday, calling for improved communication with at-risk groups and calling for an influx of vaccine doses. The SFDPH admits that there has been a"rapid" increase in cases of monkeypox in San Francisco and will prioritize first doses of the Jynneos vaccine to as many at-risk people as possible. The health department said that this is based on available scientific evidence surrounding the accelerated outbreak, the high number of eligible people and the extreme shortage of the vaccine nationally.
