Mpox (Monkeypox) vaccinations are now available

Vaccinations are now available for people at high-risk of contracting mpox (monkeypox).

Mpox (monkeypox) is a disease caused by infection with the Mpox virus. It does not easily spread between people, as it usually requires prolonged physical or intimate (skin-to-skin) contact with an infectious person.

Monash Health’s South East Public Health Unit is continuing to work with health partners in the south east of Melbourne to deliver free vaccinations to people at high-risk of contracting mpox (monkeypox).
