Very happy to see Swallwell fail after his immature ignorant behavior with a Chink whore spy.

After receiving just under 6,000 doses of monkeypox vaccine from
the federal government, the city’s Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene will open two city sexual health clinics on July
7 to gay and bisexual men, other men who have sex with men, and
non-binary, transgender, and gender non-conforming people who
are 18 or older and have had multiple or anonymous sex partners
in the past 14 days. The latest available vaccine appointments,
however, were quickly reserved on July 6 and technical
difficulties affected the sign-up website.

“Providing vaccine for New Yorkers at highest risk of
transmission will ensure more New Yorkers are protected against
monkeypox,” Dr. Ashwin Vasan, the city’s health commissioner,
said in a statement announcing the clinics. “Thank you to our
federal partners for providing the necessary support we need to
curb transmission and keep New Yorkers safe. The city will
continue to work with the federal government to secure
additional doses.”

The Chelsea Sexual Health Clinic, which is at West 28th Street
and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan, and the Central Harlem Sexual
Health Clinic, which is at West 136th Street and Fifth Avenue in
Manhattan, began accepting appointments through the health
department’s website on July 6. A third city clinic, the Corona
Sexual Health Clinic, is expected to open for vaccinations later
this month.

There is high demand for the vaccine and appointments. Multiple
media reports said that the July 6 rollout of appointments was
hampered by vendor error or some unknown glitch. One possible
indication of the demand may have come late in the day when
available appointments were announced by the department on
Twitter at 6:11 pm, and at 6:23 pm, the department tweeted
“UPDATE: There are no monkeypox vaccine appointments currently
available. We will update when more appointments are available
early next week.”

“A sincere apology for the technical difficulties our vendor
@medrite_ experienced with today’s monkeypox vaccine appointment
rollout,” Vasan said in a Twitter thread post on July 6. “We
especially understand that our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors have
historically been denied affirming, supportive health care. We
recognize the historical context of this response. Equity has
been our north star, and we pledge it will remain that way. We
especially thank community members and leaders for their
partnership. Beyond tech issues, the demand for this vaccine is
high and there isn’t enough vaccine supply in the US. Right now
all appointments have been booked. WE will make additional
appointments available early next week.”

The health department received its first 1,000 vaccine doses on
June 23 and all of those doses were administered over four eight-
hour days at the Chelsea clinic. On June 28, the department
reported that there were 55 suspected monkeypox cases in New
York City. As of July 6, there are 119 suspected monkeypox cases
in the city. Most of the suspected cases have been among men who
have sex with men. They have generally been mild cases and most
have recovered.

On June 28, the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) reported 306 confirmed monkeypox cases in 27
states and the nation’s capital. On July 6, the CDC reported 605
cases in 34 states and the nation’s capital. The federal health
agency continues to say that “early data suggest that gay,
bisexual, and other men who have sex with men make up a high
number of cases.”

There are two vaccines for monkeypox — ACAM200 and Jynneos. Both
were originally developed to prevent smallpox and only Jynneos
is approved as a vaccine for monkeypox. ACAM200 is less
effective against monkeypox and has more serious side effects.
The city is using Jynneos exclusively. The vaccine is
administered in two doses 28 days apart. Immunity to monkeypox
begins roughly two weeks after the second shot.

The most symptoms of monkeypox are rashes or sores that appear
seven to 14 days after exposure, but they can take as long as 21
days to appear. The virus can also cause flu-like symptoms.
Recovery can take two to four weeks.
