Mpox vaccination coverage among Australian gay and bisexual men and non-binary people: Results of behavioural surveillance in early 2024
Socially and clinically engaged gay men were more likely to be vaccinated against mpox. Younger participants, bisexual participants, those born in Asia and Latin America, and those living outside inner metropolitan areas were less likely to be vaccinated. We recommend targeted messaging and outreach to increase vaccination among people who attend sexual health services less frequently and those less socially engaged with QBQ+ people.
