The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care recently added a new chapter on mpox (previously known as monkeypox) to the 澳大利亚免疫手册.
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.
