Outreach mpox vaccination at sex-on-premises venues in Sydney: an audit of a collaborative intervention by public health nurses and LGBTQI+ peer workers
Mpox outreach vaccination done in collaboration between nurses and LGBTQI+ peer-workers at SOPVs proved feasible, acceptable, and beneficial in terms of reaching people who may be out of area and not routinely engaged with sexual health services. Models of care that circumnavigate traditional geographic and local health service barriers should be considered during outbreaks, particularly those that build on established rapport within the communities at risk, such as MSM.
