When health officials set up a monkeypox vaccination clinic at a major LGBTQIA+ festival in Louisiana, they wanted to know who was showing up for the shot. This report describes the characteristics of the people who received the JYNNEOS vaccine before and during the festival. It's important to note that this is not a clinical trial. The report doesn't tell us how well the vaccine worked at preventing infection, what side effects people experienced, or how many people were vaccinated. It simply gives a snapshot of who was getting vaccinated in that specific place and time. Without details on the number of people or their specific outcomes, this information is best seen as a starting point for understanding vaccination efforts in community settings.

What this means for you:
A report describes who got the monkeypox vaccine at a Louisiana festival, but doesn't measure its effects.
