A shortage of monkeypox vaccines has forced San Francisco General to cancel its upcoming clinics.

Bay Area public health agencies said Monday they were still unsure the supply of the monkeypox vaccine they would receive this week from the federal government forcing the closure.

"Just to be clear, we're in a bad spot, I don't want to sugar coat it," said Sen. Scott Wiener on Monday. "If we can have adequate supply in two or three months instead of six to nine months, that's a big benefit."
