Visit your health care provider or find a health clinic to stay up to date with your sexual health care. Discuss the types of sex you have so that your provider can offer testing and prevention services, including vaccines, that are right for you.

• Get both doses of the mpox vaccine. Unvaccinated people and people who have not received both doses who could benefit from vaccine may still be at risk. The best protection against mpox occurs 2 weeks after the second shot, so plan ahead.

• In the current outbreak, mpox is often transmitted through close, sustained physical contact, almost exclusively associated with sexual contact.

• If you have symptoms of mpox, visit a healthcare provider and get tested, even if you have been vaccinated.

• Get tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

If you have questions or want to inquire about JYNNEOS vaccine please contact our offices.
