Australians heading to Sydney WorldPride who are eligible for mpox (previously monkeypox) vaccination are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and get a jab ahead of the global LGBTIQ+ festival later this month.
Transmission can also occur through contaminated clothing or bedding, and less commonly, through respiratory droplets during prolonged face-to-face contact.
But with WorldPride just days away, Dr Cornelisse said even one dose will offer "a pretty decent amount of protection". Social and behavioural scientist James MacGibbon, who recently undertook research with Dr Cornelisse to better understand Australians' attitudes and behaviours regarding mpox, said there was generally a good level of awareness among people at increased risk and that most appeared willing to get vaccinated.
However, the research also found people less concerned about mpox were less likely willing to receive a vaccine, he said.
