Mpox
Mpox (sometimes known as Monkeypox) usually goes away by itself after a few weeks, but it can be dangerous in some people, especially children. If you think you have symptoms of monkeypox, avoid contact with others, and talk to a doctor urgently.
What is Mpox?
The Mpox (monkeypox) virus is mainly found in West and Central Africa. Humans can catch it from animals that carry the virus, and it can then pass from person to person.
Mpox is usually self-limiting. This means that after a while it goes away by itself. After you have had Mpox you are immune, and you can’t get it again.
Get vaccinated
First and second doses of the Mpox vaccine are currently available for men who are having sex with men. The second dose must be given at least 28 days after the first.
