Vaccine availability and access
There is a globally limited supply of the JYNNEOS® vaccine and high international demand.
The Australian Government, in conjunction with states and territories, has secured an initial supply of JYNNEOS® and is working with the manufacturer to secure more.
Given vaccine supply is limited, access to vaccines will initially be prioritised to support strong outbreak management, and this may include those who are:
Close physical contacts of people infected with mpox, such as intimate partners and people who live in the same household.
Population groups who might be at higher risk of exposure or further transmission, such as gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men who have a high number of sexual contacts or are travelling to countries where mpox is present, or those where mpox is more likely to result in serious illness.
People whose occupations might put them at increased risk, including laboratory staff and healthcare workers.
