New York City and Washington have run out of monkeypox vaccine doses on the same day they began to offer them to gay and bisexual men, officials say.

In less than one day, New York City’s 1,000 monkeypox vaccine doses were allocated to eligible New Yorkers, according to a letter sent to Gov. Kathy Hochul by New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, and city council member Erik Bottcher.
