From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, Director of DC Health, provided an update on monkeypox and encouraged more DC residents to pre-register for a vaccination appointment at preventmonkeypox.dc.gov. Since May, the District has reported 122 cases of monkeypox.
