Stilson said as he lined up to get a shot at a pop-up vaccination center together with his husband and two daughters. &#8220;I&#8217;ve friends who have waited 8 or 9 hours to get in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because contact tracing is difficult, authorities in Montreal decided to offer the vaccine to all those who are at risk to stem the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As tourists, they may participate in activities that may expose them and so in a way, we&#8217;re combatting the pandemic by letting them become vaccinated here so that they don&#8217;t transmit the infection either here or when they go back home,&#8221; Donald Vinh, infectious disease specialist at the McGill University Health Center, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Since the vaccination campaign was launched in mid-May, as soon as the first cases of monkeypox were detected, Montreal has inoculated 18,500 people, 13 percent of them foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to administer 25,000 doses and vaccinate some 75-80 percent of the population deemed to be at risk, in particular men who have sex with men or with multiple partners.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope the strategy used by the public health agency of Montreal is a beacon for other public health agencies to use as a vaccination strategy,&#8221; Vinh added.<\/p>\n<p>In the western province of British Columbia, health authorities decided last week they will no longer offer the vaccine to foreigners citing limited supplies and the fact that it was becoming more available in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with a lack of available doses, American health authorities on Tuesday authorized a new injection procedure which will make it possible to inoculate five times the number of people with the same amount of the drug.<\/p>\n<p>As of August 11, Canada has registered 1,059 confirmed cases of monkeypox, but authorities see signs of infections beginning to slow.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Available vaccines in Norway should be given to those who have been exposed to monkeypox infection\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Foreigners flock to Canada for monkeypox vaccine (2022, August 12)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 12 August 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-08-foreigners-flock-canada-monkeypox-vaccine.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
