Beginning at 9 a.m. Aug. 18, the Dallas County Health Department will, for the first time, stage a drive thru monkeypox vaccine hub outside its office off I-35 E.

Just last week, there were 265 cases of monkeypox in Dallas County. As of Aug. 17, there are 344 cases. Of those, only four out of the 344 are women.

That's one reason why it will now include in the criteria to get the vaccine. That includes men who have sex with men who met partners through an online website, digital application , or social event, such as a bar or party in the past 14 days.
