Mpox Vaccine
In an effort to decrease the impact of Mpox infection in our community, Novus is ordering Mpox vaccinations (Jynneos) for eligible individuals at all Novus locations.
Vaccinations are available to individuals who meet the CDC’s current eligibility criteria, prioritizing those who are most at risk of exposure to Mpox.
Vaccination Eligibility
*People who meet the following criteria are eligible to be vaccinated:
- People who attended an event or venue where there was known Mpox exposure.
- Gay men, bisexual men, trans men and women, any men who have sex with men, and gender non-conforming/non-binary individuals,
- Have had multiple or anonymous sex partners in the last 14 days
Mpox vaccination is not recommended for people who have had a monkeypox infection. A Mpox boaster is not recommended for those who were vaccinated against Mpox in the past.
IMPORTANT:
- Appointments are NOT confirmed until you have received a follow-up call from Novus to schedule a specific appointment time & date.
- Novus Medical Services is required to follow state health department eligibility guidelines when vaccinating patients. Because of this, we are not able to accommodate all vaccine requests. We appreciate your patience while we work to protect those at highest risk.
Please know that our team is working hard to provide this important service and keep our communities healthy!
