As monkeypox spreads, the Chicago Department of Public Health is hoping more vaccine doses get to Chicago soon.
On Friday, crews were setting up everything from stages and kiosks to handwashing stations along Halsted Street between Belmont Avenue and Addison Street. Come Saturday, that stretch of Halsted Street will be blocked off – and packed with people.can affect anyone, most cases in Chicago and beyond have involved men who have sex with men, or MSM.
Streetman has been going to Market Days since 1998 – the year he moved to Chicago. At 4 p.m. Saturday, he will sing on the Chicago Sound Stage at Halsted Street and Aldine Avenue for his second straight year.Streetman says while concern about monkeypox is high, understanding how the virus is most often transmitted - through intimate contact or any direct contact with a rash, scab, or bodily fluid - is the first step in stopping the spread.
Data show right now, Illinois has recorded the third highest number of cases in the country - behind New York and California. The majority of those cases in Chicago and among men who have sex with men, according to the city's Public Health department. Streetman says he considers himself very lucky, as he was able to get the first dose of the monkeypox vaccine at a clinic on the city's West side last week. He says he was eligible because one of his best friends tested positive for Monkeypox.
