Mpox Vaccinations
Mpox (Monkey Pox) Vaccination Clinics
Last updated 24/05/2024
Mpox vaccination is available at some clinics and pharmacies in the north eastern metropolitan catchment. The vaccine is available for people at higher risk of contracting the infection including:
- 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.
Vaccination can also be given to protect against infection within four days after exposure for high-risk contacts of mpox cases. This is known as post exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The mpox vaccine requires two doses for optimal protection, administered at least 28 days apart. The mpox vaccine takes approximately 14 days before it is effective. Mpox vaccines are free in Victoria, however providers may choose to charge a fee to administer the vaccine. If you do not have a Medicare card, you can still be vaccinated, but will need to pay private fee to see the GP. Scroll down for mpox information and resources.
NOTE: Please contact the clinics directly regarding opening hours, any consultation fees and whether the mpox vaccination service is walk-in or by appointment only.
