National Mpox Webinar

Mpox transmission rates are increasing across Australia, particularly in NSW and VIC, despite rising vaccination rates. However, only 15–20% of individuals in these states have completed the full two-dose vaccine course. Testing remains crucial, as even vaccinated individuals with mild disease can transmit the virus to those without adequate protection, potentially causing severe illness. This webinar will cover vaccination strategies, diagnosing mpox, and insights into clade 1b.
