What is mpox and is there a vaccine? Mpox spreads from animals to humans and between people through close contact with someone who is infected – including through sex, skin-to-skin contact and talking or breathing close to another person. Symptoms may first appear as a high fever and headache, accompanied by muscle pains. Those infected are also likely to have a lack of energy in the first five days after contracting the disease.
