The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care recently added a new chapter on mpox (previously known as monkeypox) to the ऑस्ट्रेलियाई टीकाकरण पुस्तिका.
Mpox is a viral zoonosis (an infection spread from animals to humans). In Victoria, vaccination is available free of charge for individuals who meet certain criteria.
The new chapter on mpox includes detailed information on mpox disease, epidemiology, vaccination and more.
