Stay Informed and Protected Against Mpox
Mpox (previously known as monkeypox) is a viral illness that can spread from person to person through close contact. Vaccination is a key public health measure to prevent infection and control the spread of the virus within the community.
What is Mpox?
MPox symptoms typically include fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, and a characteristic rash that develops into blisters or pimples. It is spread through close physical contact with an infected person's rash, bodily fluids, or contaminated materials.
Why Get Vaccinated?
The Mpox vaccine can help prevent infection or reduce the severity of illness if you are exposed to the virus. It is a vital tool for protecting yourself and the community.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
Vaccination is currently recommended for specific groups who are at a higher risk of exposure. Eligibility criteria are determined by public health authorities and may include:
- Gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), including transgender and gender-diverse people
- Sex workers, particularly those whose clients are at risk of mpox exposure
- People with HIV, if at risk of mpox exposure
- Other individuals whose sexual networks might include GBMSM
- Laboratory personnel working with orthopoxviruses
