NYC is making 16,000 new monkeypox vaccine appointments available later today. Here's where to find them and find out if you're eligible for your second dose.
More than 88,000 New Yorkers have been vaccinated against monkeypox and cases have started to decline in the city. The seven-day rolling average of new cases is down 52% in just the last week, though that may reflect some holiday weekend reporting and testing lags. That rolling average is a fifth of what it was a month ago, however, and trendlines have stayed down since peaking in early August, according to city health department data.
That said, disparities persist, especially along racial/ethnic lines. Latinos account for more than a third of the 3,214 monkeypox cases reported in New York City to date, health data shows, while Black New Yorkers account for about 27% of the cases. That compares with population representations of 29% and 24% for those groups, respectively, according to federal data.
