We’ve been working with state & local governments to set up monkeypox vaccination clinics at festivals, starting a few weeks ago when we allocated an additional supply of JYNNEOS vials to the Pride festival in Charlotte, NC, where hundreds of people were able to get vaccinated.
We’ll be allocating an additional supply of thousands of JYNNEOS vials to the Southern Decadence festival in New Orleans, the Black Pride festival in Atlanta, and to two festivals in Oakland, the Pride festival & PrideFest, so more people can get vaccinated against monkeypox.
