Monkey pox vaccine should be provided to individuals who are at a higher risk of being infected and are in close contact with someone that has been infected. Those who are older or have a weakened immune system, as well as healthcare workers, should also get the vaccine as soon as it’s available in order to protect themselves from the virus. The vaccine should be given by a qualified health care provider in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Furthermore, it is recommended for people travelling to certain countries in Africa where monkey pox is endemic.
