Mpox Vaccination

Mpox Vaccine FAQ

WHERE CAN I FIND MY VACCINE RECORD?

Immunizations records in CT WiZ include mpox vaccine for individuals who received their vaccine in Connecticut. Instructions on accessing immunizations records can be found here.

SHOULD I GET VACCINATED?

The current mpox outbreak has affected some populations more than others. While anyone can contract mpox, the JYNNEOS vaccine is currently recommended for people who meet at least one of the following:

• People who engage in sex with multiple partners, anonymous partners, or participate in group sex; OR
• People whose partners engage in sex with multiple partners, anonymous partners, or participate in group sex; OR
• People who engage in transactional sex (including sex in exchange for money, food, shelter or other goods); OR
• People who know or suspect that they have been exposed to mpox in the last 14 days; OR
• Anyone else who considers themselves to be at risk for mpox through sex or other intimate contact.

Vaccination is highly recommended for people who are at risk for mpox and are living with HIV or have a condition that weakens the immune system.

Getting vaccinated after a recent exposure may reduce the chance of you getting mpox, and it can reduce symptoms if you do get it. Vaccination is not recommended for people with current mpox symptoms or people who have already had mpox. If you have already had mpox, then you likely have protection against another infection.

People need to get both doses of the vaccine for the best protection against mpox.
