The Normal Anomaly is partnering with the Houston Health Department to provide Monkeypox Vaccinations on September 22, 2022, from 1 PM-8 PM.
Monkeypox has disproportionately affected LGBTQ+ People of Color. According to a report published by GLAAD, Black and Latinx people are contracting the virus at rates disproportionate to their respective populations in the United States. “Although Black people account for one-third of the 18,000 documented MPV cases nationwide, they have just received just 10.5% of vaccine doses.”
