DC to merge monkeypox clinics with some COVID centers
WASHINGTON - The D.C. Department of Health will merge the city’s three monkeypox clinics with three COVID centers beginning Saturday, October 15.
The monkeypox clinics will merge with the COVID-19 centers in wards two, three, and eight.
Health officials say the move comes following the District’s success in fighting the monkeypox outbreak.
The monkeypox vaccine will continue to be available for first and second doses without an appointment at the three centers.
District health officials have administered more than 36,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine and encourage all eligible individuals to get it.
