Mpox (Monkeypox) awareness campaign: Communications toolkit for stakeholders
The Department of Health mpox awareness campaign
raises awareness of the symptoms of mpox, how to avoid it, and what to do if you think you have
caught it.
The primary message of the campaign focuses on vaccination. Although one dose of the available vaccine, JYNNEOS® mpox vaccine, provides substantial benefit, two doses given at least 28 days apart will ensure optimal protection against infection.
Mpox is usually a rare viral illness that can become
serious. Cases have been increasing internationally and in Australia, including Western
Australia.
Cases are largely returned travellers from places with high case numbers of mpox (UK, USA, Spain, Portugal, Canada). The campaign targets men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly returned travellers from high prevalence areas.
People returning from overseas, or in close contact with people returning from overseas should look out for symptoms, avoid intimate contact with someone with symptoms, and seek medical advice if they suspect they have mpox.
