Pre-travel vaccination is recommended for anyone (regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity) who may undertake sexual risk activities in countries with transmission of clade I mpox. Sexual risk activities may include:
Sex with a new partner
Sex at a sex-on-premises venue
Sex in exchange for money or other goods
Sex in association with a large public event (e.g. a festival)
All travellers to a risk region should be aware of the need for general precautions.
Booster doses
Booster doses
Currently, there is insufficient evidence to support a recommendation for a booster dose of the MVA-BN mpox vaccine for people who are fully vaccinated (that is, people who have had 2 doses administered at least 28 days apart), including those who are severely immunocompromised.
