Mpox awareness and vaccination willingness among a household cohort in Matlab, Bangladesh
There are strides to be made in increasing mpox awareness to strengthen passive surveillance efforts and personal protection efforts in Matlab and similar regions. This may be done through educational campaigns, increasing access to healthcare and overall improvements in health literacy. However, acceptance of the vaccination is high, presenting a learning opportunity for other contexts.
