New York City is closing 10 city-run sites where children younger than 5 could get the COVID-19 vaccine, with three of those sites transitioning to administer the monkeypox vaccine.
The city health department said demand for children’s COVID vaccines had been on the downswing at the clinics, which opened in late June. Meanwhile, monkeypox cases have increased, with the city declaring it a public health emergency July 30.
All the COVID vaccine sites for children will close by Sunday, Aug. 14, Spectrum News NY1 said. It’s unclear if the other sites will transition to monkeypox vaccine.
