There is a limited supply of monkeypox vaccine in Washington state.

Public Health – Seattle & King County says some doses will be available on Saturday at Seattle Central College, but there are restrictions on who can receive the vaccine.

Only those who are at the highest risk of exposure will be eligible to receive the vaccine during Saturday’s free event, according to Public Health.

After Alexandre Manila received the vaccine for monkeypox, an illness known as MPV, he decided to post about it on his Instagram page.

"I did a story… and I just kind of started getting more comments from people,” said Manila.

He kept making videos sharing information from the Department of Health to address the most common questions, like who is eligible for the vaccine.

"Eligibility is if you've had close contact with somebody who's had a confirmed case of monkeypox,” said Manila.

Public Health – Seattle and King County have a list of criteria to ensure the vaccine goes to people with the highest risk of exposure.
