Mpox Symptom Monitoring

This fact sheet discusses how mpox can spread to anyone through close (often skin-to-skin) contact. This includes intimate contact (kissing, touching, any kind of sex). If your partner has mpox, avoid sex or being intimate until all sores have healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed.

Mpox Virus

This fact sheet discusses how mpox is a rare but potentially serious disease that is caused by the mpox virus. The mpox virus is from the same family of viruses as the smallpox virus. The symptoms of mpox are similar to smallpox symptoms, but are less severe. It is also less transmissible than smallpox, and rarely fatal. The mpox virus can spread from infected humans, animals, and materials contaminated with the virus. The mpox virus is characterized by a new unexplained rash and skin lesions.

Mpox Vaccination Basics

This webpage discusses how mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is caused by a virus that is related to the virus that causes smallpox. JYNNEOS is a two-dose vaccine developed to protect against mpox and smallpox infections. People need to get both doses of the vaccine for the best protection against mpox. The second dose should be given four weeks after the first dose.
