For a second day, hundreds of people lined up outside San Francisco General Hospital hoping to get a dose of the monkeypox vaccine.
Frustration was growing with the length of the wait.
At a virtual town hall meeting Tuesday night organized by the San Francisco Aids Foundation, more than 500 people logged in to get facts about monkeypox including symptoms. Health officials also told people to check carefully for the characteristic rash and said lesions can range in size. They also explained monkeypox is transmitted mostly through close body contact and people are less likely to contract the virus from the air or fabrics."Do I need to have symptoms do I need to have lesions in order to be tested?" said Russell Roybal, Chief Advancement Officer of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
