Alberta's monkeypox vaccine uptake encouraging news, says infectious disease expert

A man receives a monkeypox vaccine at an outdoor walk-in clinic in Montreal in July.

"That actually is pretty decent uptake," said Dr. Lynora Saxinger, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Alberta. "I think that means that at least parts of the community are well aware and were keen to get vaccinated." "It's a multitalented virus and it does not care how it gets from one person to another. It just wants contact. And so there's a window here, where if we're really thoughtful about making sure that the right people are vaccinated, that we decrease the likelihood of ongoing spread in the communities," she said.

"We create this kind of dichotomy and what it does is it further demonizes the LGBTQ community," he said.
