Mpox Vaccination
Mpox (Monkey Pox) Vaccination Clinics
Last updated 25/08/2023

Smallpox vaccines can provide protection against mpox because the two viruses are closely related.
The Victorian Department of Health has secured supplies of a new vaccine against smallpox (JYNNEOS) which has fewer side effects than previous smallpox vaccines and can be safely used by all groups of people, including people aged over 18 years, who are immunocompromised and who have HIV.
Two doses of the vaccine are required for maximum protection, given at least 28 days apart. The vaccine is most effective two weeks after the second dose and gives an 80% protection against mpox.
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.
The vaccine does not transmit mpox or any other pox virus to other people.

- No judgement - all clinics are judgement-free, safe spaces.
- No scar - vaccines are delivered subcutaneously (under the skin) and will not leave a mark or scar.
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.
