Abstract

Mpox disproportionately affected Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx men who have sex with men in Alameda County. Strong partnerships with local health care providers ensured that persons with mpox received TPOXX treatment when indicated. However, higher JYNNEOS vaccine uptake in Black and Latinx communities needs improvement through ongoing and meaningful engagement with Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx gay, bisexual, and transgender communities.
