The San Francisco Department of Public Health said it's now received 2,000 new doses of the vaccine this week, but LGBTQ advocates said that’s not enough for the growing demand.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, UCSF professor of infectious diseases, said they've already started treating some more serious cases with patients having painful lesions and blisters.
"First in the genital area, but when it gets extensive it moves from the genital area to the mouth, face, arms, hands and sometimes the trunk,” he said. The federal government is still ramping up production of the vaccine which has even proven effective at helping those who are already infected and at preventing future infections.
According to the San Francisco Department of Public Health, there are 40 suspected or confirmed cases in the city. NBC Bay Area's Raj Mathai spoke to Sergio Quintana about San Francisco's warning about monkeypox spreading during Pride.And because California and San Francisco are seeing rising case counts, we're a high priority to get more doses.Because there are more large community events in San Francisco on the horizon, there's some urgency to get a lot more people vaccinated sooner and some concern about stigmatizing the LGBTQ community in this outbreak.
