More than 300 monkeypox vaccines are available at a South Dallas clinic starting this Saturday for individuals at high risk.
The HOPE Health and Wellness Center is open to eligible individuals now, Aug. 19 - by appointment only - at 1619 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Dallas, TX 75215. Clinic hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Abounding Prosperity Inc., a nonprofit organization founded to respond to social and health disparities devastating communities of color and LGBTQ+ communities in Dallas County, initially received 300 doses of the monkeypox vaccine from Dallas County Health and Human Services. The doses will be administered at the clinic until they're depleted.
"It is of utmost importance that we supply these vaccines and other resources to ensure access and availability to those that may not otherwise have access to these resources. We want to normalize prevention as a part of self-care," said Tamara Stephney, chief operating officer, Abounding Prosperity Inc. and executive director, HOPE Health and Wellness Center.
