People at greater risk of mpox (Monkeypox) can book a consultation with a health professional to discuss mpox prevention options. At the consultation a health professional will discuss your risk of exposure to mpox, and options, benefits and risks of vaccination. Following the consultation the vaccination may be prescribed.
To check your eligibility and book an appointment:
- Use the Burnett Foundation mpox risk tool
- Call Healthline for free on 0800 116 672, between 8am and 8pm.
The consultation service and vaccination are all free.
About mpox consultation clinics
While more than 40 consultation clinics are being set-up across Aotearoa, we anticipate there will be significant demand. Please be patient during this time.
Vaccination for mpox should only take place after a person and their healthcare professional have assessed the possible risks and benefits of receiving the vaccine, and the person has provided informed consent to have the vaccine, and that information about the prescribing will be supplied to the Ministry of Health.
