Reversing Inequity in Mpox Vaccine Distribution, Fulton County, Georgia, June–September 2022

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Racial/ethnic disparities in the administration of mpox vaccine in Fulton County, Georgia, threatened to undermine the effectiveness of the response. To counteract this inequity, the Fulton County Board of Health partnered with local agencies serving Black and Latino men who have sex with men to coordinate efforts and reserve blocks of time for clients of these agencies to receive a vaccine. The disparities were reversed and approached equity with case rates. (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(12):1263–1266. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307416 )
