Of LA County\u2019s more than 1,900 Monkeypox cases, more than 52 percent have been among Latino men who have sex with men.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn late July, the CDC working with local and state health officials had identified 180,000 at-risk individuals in LA County and devised a plan to make vaccines available to them. The LA County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) initially was able to vaccinate at County-operated clinic locations and once adequately supplied was able to engage additional community resources and private healthcare foundations and providers. According to the LACDPH Monkeypox Dashboard, as of September 14, 52,137 first doses have been administered\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Blade alongside over a dozen community partners are hosting an urgent and timely special Monkeypox Community Town Hall to answer questions and provide medical and needed information by a panel of experts on Thursday, September 22 from 6 PM \u2013 8:30PM (PT), on the campus of the East Los Angeles Community College and simultaneously via a variety of digital social media platforms.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis town hall is a much-needed opportunity to create new urgency about the need to be vaccinated, a unified approach to containment and more direct discussions about prevention. The panelists include medical experts, highly respected doctors with LADPH and respected members of the LGBTQ+ community and local healthcare related agencies that deliver medical care to the community.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLos Angeles Blade Publisher Troy Masters says, \u201c<!-- no quote -->The monkeypox epidemic is not over and we have a lot of work to do to ensure our affected communities take action to prevent transmission and embrace vaccination. This town hall will help focus attention on transmission and the unique needs of the Latino community to ensure prevention and vaccination messages successfully reach every segment of our at-risk community.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt is critical to continue hosting monkeypox informative sessions in multiple languages \u2014 this is especially important given Latino residents have the highest cases of any community in LA County. There is still a lot of misinformation out there regarding monkeypox and I am committed to doing everything I can to protect our most impacted residents from the discrimination and stigma that this virus may bring,\u201d said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, representing the First District.\n<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<b>WHAT:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nLatino Monkeypox Town Hall &#8211; Monterey Park, CA\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<b>WHEN:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 6:00 PM \u2013 8:30 PM (PT)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<b>WHERE:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<i>East LA Community College (F5 Multi-Purpose Room)<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<i>\u00a0<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<i>1301 Avenida Cesar Chavez, Monterey Park, CA 91754<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<b><i>FREE PARKING<\/i><\/b><i>: <\/i><i>P3 is the parking structure for this event and it is located on Avenida Cesar Chavez at Schoolside Street\u00a0<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n<b>WHO:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><i>Panelists include public health experts, medical persons, prevention experts, East LA focused healthcare providers, LGBTQ+ community clinic representatives and community advocates among others.

ELAC follows guidelines established by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which masks are strongly recommended indoors or in crowded outdoor settings for people at high risk of severe illness, or who live with someone who is at high risk. Masks that provide the best protection against COVID-19 should be worn. Examples include a well-fitting respirator (e.g., N95, KN95) or a double mask (a well-fitting cloth mask over a medical mask).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe event is open to the press and public but you must register here to attend:<br \/>\n<br \/>To register on the Event Brite page, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fmonkeypox-town-hall-en-espanol-tickets-421548361497&amp;esheet=52920551&amp;newsitemid=20220919005876&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=click+here&amp;index=27&amp;md5=3155587dd9ee6ac1ea5f33687700c32f\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">click here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p> <b>Contacts<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>\nTroy Masters<br \/>\n<br \/>Publisher, LA Blade<br \/>\n<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#105;l&#x74;&#x6f;&#58;tm&#x61;&#x73;&#116;e&#x72;&#x73;&#64;&#108;o&#x73;&#x61;&#110;g&#x65;&#x6c;&#101;&#115;b&#x6c;&#x61;&#100;e&#x2e;&#x63;&#111;&#109;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">&#x74;&#x6d;&#97;&#115;t&#x65;&#x72;&#x73;&#64;lo&#x73;&#x61;&#110;&#103;e&#x6c;&#x65;&#x73;&#98;la&#x64;&#x65;&#46;&#99;o&#x6d;<\/a><br \/>(917) 406-1619\n<\/p>\n<p>\nGed Kenslea<br \/>\n<br \/>AIDS Healthcare Foundation Director of Communications<br \/>\n<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"&#x6d;&#97;i&#x6c;&#116;o&#x3a;&#x67;&#101;&#x64;&#x2e;&#107;e&#x6e;&#115;l&#x65;&#x61;&#64;&#x61;&#x68;&#102;&#46;&#x6f;&#114;g\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">ge&#100;&#46;&#107;&#x65;&#x6e;&#x73;&#x6c;&#x65;a&#64;&#97;&#104;&#102;&#x2e;&#x6f;&#x72;&#x67;<\/a><br \/>(323) 791-5526\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Blade, California\u2019s leading LGBTQ+ news media outlet, &amp; East Los Angeles Community College host a Spanish language Monkeypox Town Hall Monkeypox Town Hall en Espanol on the campus of East Los Angeles Community College is co-sponsored by several community partners LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis will give welcoming remarks Thursday, September 22, &#8230; <span class=\"more\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/pharma-trend.com\/en\/l-a-blade-hosts-east-l-a-monkeypox-town-hall-sept-22-says-ahf\/\">[Read more&#8230;]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"entry","1":"post","2":"publish","3":"author-business","4":"post-48591","6":"format-standard","7":"category-industry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>L.A.
