Monkeypox Vax Eligibility Expands to Those Under 18; New Site Open in El Monte
“While we work with the federal government to increase the supply of the monkeypox vaccine for Los Angeles County residents, setting up pop-up vaccination clinics in communities such as El Monte is critical to ensuring our available vaccines are distributed equitably,” Solis said.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, announced Wednesday that he and 10 other members of the Southern California Congressional delegation have sent a letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra stressing the “urgent” need to address the area's shortfall. Another 19,000 doses from the weekly allocation will be distributed to community providers and public vaccination sites to be used as first doses.
Making the change is designed to stretch the limited of supply of the vaccine nationally, allowing smaller doses to be administered to more people. Minors under age 18 are not eligible for the intradermal injection, so they must receive the full subcutaneous dosage, under the terms of the emergency use authorization for the shots approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
