'We're probably seeing the tip of the iceberg of people who actually are exposed and/or have the disease,' said UCSF Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Peter Chin-Hong.
The CDC announced on Friday that monkeypox is not thought to be airborne but transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.Meantime, the San Francisco Aids Foundation says the demand for monkeypox vaccines is outpacing the availability of vaccines.Termeer says in June, the foundation received 60 doses of the vaccine, not nearly enough to provide vaccines to everyone calling asking for one.
"In the first day alone we received over 500 calls and have over 300 individuals on our waiting list. In order to best triage those who are calling in we are at this time only able to really help those who have been exposed or believe they've been exposed to the monkeypox virus," said Termeer."We are really pushing San Francisco AIDS Foundation to get at least 1,000 doses in the next 30 days," said Termeer.
