The Jynneos vaccine is effective at preventing mpox! Less than 1% of people who have been fully vaccinated with the Jynneos vaccine have been diagnosed with mpox.
Getting vaccinated is one of the best ways to protect yourself, and we also want to remind people that while no vaccine is 100% effective, vaccination decreases the likelihood of illness.
And, if someone who has been vaccinated does get mpox, their symptoms are less severe and they are less likely to be hospitalized.
Other strategies people could use to decrease the risk of mpox infection include reducing their number of sex partners and using condoms.
Visit SF.gov/mpox for more mpox information or visit us online at www.SFCityClinic.org or call 628-217-6600 to schedule an appointment for the mpox vaccination at San Francisco City Clinic.
