There is much frustration around getting the monkeypox vaccine in the Bay Area with too-great demand and too-little supply.
OAKLAND -- The inadequate supply of the monkeypox vaccine highlights an inequity for marginalized communities. The AIDS Foundation of the East Bay is working to reach people who need protection but can't travel to pop-up vaccination sites.
"I'm really lucky that I work a job that has flexible hours and that I can stand in line in the middle of a workday for three hours," said Wyatt Robertson on Thursday. He lives in San Francisco and went to Berkeley on Wednesday to get the vaccine at a pop-up clinic. Other nonprofits agree with Jackson that, as the supply increases, providers should set aside doses for those who cannot travel or take time off work to get the vaccine.
