Monkeypox Info & Prevention
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) recently announced a list of official community partners residents can contact for the MPV vaccine. Not all listed community partners will have available doses or open appointments, so many are now offering waitlists. Chicago will be receiving an increasing number of doses in the coming weeks.
Get more info on MPV vaccination and prevention here.
