NYC To Release 8200 Monkeypox Vax Appts Tonight

New York City’s ABC affiliate reports:

New York City plans to release thousands of new appointments Friday night for people at high risk of getting monkeypox – and that continues to be people in the LGBTQIA+ community. The rollout has been rocky.

Starting Friday at 6 p.m. NYC is releasing 8200 first-dose appointment timeslots. Another 4000 doses will be reserved for doctors to make referrals for their patients.
