COVID-19 isn't casting a shadow on this year's festival, but monkeypox is on the mind of many. The LGBTQ+ community has been heavily impacted by the spread of the disease and that's why the festival is bringing awareness to it.
"So, right now, the community really wants to get vaccinated. Everyone's behind the vaccine effort," said Mark Liberson, the festival's chair. Monkeypox vaccines are still hard to come by around the city and nation. Some doses will be given at Market Days, something had people people in line there Saturday. They get a number and return later when it's their turn to get vaccinated."The majority of the transmissions of monkeypox have been based in intimate activity.
Some local businesses like Drew's on Halsted are already working to get their entire staff vaccinated. Things like that allow them to continue traditions like Market Days as they set up their booth for the 23rd year. "It's just the community and we all work together and just a lot of long term business owners and a lot of loyal regulars," said Drew Johnson, the owner.Copyright © 2022 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
