In Victoria, the mpox vaccine (JYNNEOS® vaccine) is available free-of-charge for eligible people who meet any of the following criteria.

Eligibility criteria

• Post-exposure preventive vaccination (PEPV) for high-risk close contacts of mpox cases, preferably within 4 days.
• Primary preventive vaccination (PPV) has been expanded to include:
• All sexually active gay and bisexual men (cis and trans).
• Sexual partners of the above.
• Sex workers.
• Immunisation providers who are administering the ACAM2000™ smallpox vaccine.
• Laboratory workers who analyse specimens from mpox cases.

Vaccination may also be considered for healthcare workers at higher risk of exposure to patients with mpox, including primary care, sexual health clinics, hospital staff and others, based on local risk assessments. The risk of transmission should be also minimised by using infection control measures.

Two doses are required for optimal protection and can be given 28 days apart. The mpox vaccine takes approximately 14 days before it is effective.
