Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Health have announced a limited supply of free monkeypox vaccines for city residents.
Sign up online to schedule an appointment. If the appointment schedule is full, check back in the next day, said city health officials.
The vaccine is available to men who have sex with other men — whether they identify as gay or bisexual — who in the past 14 days have had more than one sexual partner or sex with an anonymous partner.
Transgender women who have sex with men are also eligible for the vaccine.
Sex workers of any orientation and gender and staff members of any orientation or gender who work at businesses where sexual activity takes place, such as bathhouses, saunas and sex clubs, are also allowed to be vaccinated against the disease.
