BERKELEY HEALTH PAGE
Steamworks is dedicated to being an active part of our community’s health. We work with City of Berkeley Department of Health Services and other community based organizations to offer a variety of on-site testing, outreach and counseling. Together, we have an opportunity to share important messages about testing, prevention, and treatment of health conditions that disproportionately impact LGBTQIA+ people. CDC has pulled together a suite of resource, that we hope, will be useful and educational. You can find the resources here: Gay and Bisexual mens health.

MPOX (monkeypox)
If you have not been vaccinated, or if you’ve had only 1 shot, it is recommended that you get the complete vaccine series of 2 shots, separated by at least 28 days (longer is fine). Full protection occurs 14 days after the second shot. If you had 2 doses of MPOX vaccine, no additional booster shots are recommended at this time.
For information on MPOX, visit CDC website or your local health clinic, talk to your healthcare provider.
To find an MPOX vaccine site near you, visit this website.
