New Jersey Members of Congress: Make Sure NJ Gets Our Fair Share of Monkeypox Vaccines

Monkeypox cases are on the rise worldwide, but New Jersey has only been issued a very small number of vaccines, despite our proximity to two of our nation's largest cities. Please use this form to let our Senators and your Representative know that they need to advocate for New Jersey to get its fair share of monkeypox vaccines!

Update (August 16, 2022): Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) have sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services urging them to distribute additional vaccines and test kits to New Jersey! Thank you to everyone who sent messages encouraging them to do so. Please continue to send messages to Sen. Bob Menendez and New Jersey's other members of Congress asking them to do the same!

Dear [elected official],

I am writing to you today as a supporter of Garden State Equality to request that you help ensure that New Jersey gets its fair share of monkeypox vaccines. Monkeypox is highly contagious and cases are rising worldwide, yet New Jersey has been given a very limited supply of vaccines.

New York City has been heavily impacted by monkeypox, with over 1,000 confirmed cases so far, and over the course of this summer, hundreds of thousands of people from New York and elsewhere in the country will visit New Jersey's shore towns. After asking the federal government for more doses, New York State received 110,000 extra doses over what was originally allocated to them. We must make sure that New Jersey residents also have wide access to the monkeypox vaccine.

In particular, while we know that monkeypox is a threat to the population at large, we must also be mindful that certain communities, including the LGBTQ+ community, are being more heavily impacted and also face disparities in accessing healthcare. With more vaccines available in New Jersey, we could make sure that high-risk populations and populations that face barriers to healthcare have access to this much-needed resource.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
