See flyer on how to secure an appointment. Once the patient Interest survey is filled out, we will reach out to the individual to schedule a first-dose appointment. If you are interested in hosting a vaccine event for your members, let us know! We have Saturday appointments also! More info on Mpx can be found on our website: https://wp.sbcounty.gov/dph/monkeypox/ Facility Planning for hospitals/clinics who already have an allocation: Intradermal route ( like placing PPD) for all except pts who form keloids or pediatrics. Each vial is able to be drawn up to 5 doses. Once punctured I think shelf life is 8 hrs. If you do not plan on hosting a vaccine event, then allocate your supply to ED and primary care clinics for Post exposure use and pre exposure prophylaxis for high/medium risk pts as part of the routine immunization care when coming in for a clinic visit. High/med risk including hiv, msm, std in last year, pts on hiv PrEp, sex workers, etc ( see attachment for priority grouping). ( logistics- make sure once vial is punctured no dose left behind and nursing staff available to do intradermal injection ) Finally, Public health still has a lot of open slots for pts/friends/family who like to be vaccinated within the risk category. If IT/PIO can help to get the message out via MyChart/social media to alert at risk pts vaccine is available at Ph See attached flier in English/Spanish Here’s the patient link: https://dphsbcounty.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_agZwS9wty3UkL3M Feeling left out?
