Monkeypox clinics in San Francisco opened on a Saturday morning for the first time. It was meant to give people the opportunity to get a shot outside of normal business hours.
As usual, people seeking a vaccine arrived to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital hours before it opened to get a spot in line.
He waited a total of 10 minutes to get his vaccines. The same story goes for Benjamin Tran, who traveled from San Mateo. People showing up walked right in and walked right out with a vaccine. It was the case as well at the city's second walk-up vaccine site at Kaiser Permanente's campus along Geary in San Francisco.
While it might be easy to come to the conclusion that low wait times mean public health leaders are making progress, UCSF infectious disease doctor Peter Chin-Hong says not to read too much into the short lines.
