The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccination for people who have been exposed to mpox and people who may be more likely to get mpox.
People more likely to get mpox include:
- People who have been identified by public health officials as a contact of someone with mpox
- People who are aware that one of their sexual partners in the past 2 weeks has been diagnosed with mpox
- People who had multiple sexual partners in the past 2 weeks in an area with known mpox
Please check back for updated clinic information for first doses and to receive the required second dose 4-5 weeks after the first. The immune response takes 14 days after the second dose to reach maximum strength. People who get vaccinated should continue to take steps to protect themselves from infection by avoiding close, skin-to-skin contact, including intimate contact, with someone who has mpox.
