Australia’s active vaccine safety system

Mpox (monkeypox) vaccine safety surveillance

Our work

AusVaxSafety is actively monitoring adverse events following mpox (monkeypox) vaccination to ensure continuing safety of vaccines used.

How to get involved?

If you are getting a mpox vaccine, look out for the AusVaxSafety QR code registration poster at your immunisation clinic. Scan the QR code and complete the registration form to participate in the AusVaxSafety mpox vaccine surveillance program.

How does it work?

Following your mpox vaccination, AusVaxSafety will send you three short vaccine safety surveys - on day 7, day 14 and day 42 - giving you the opportunity to report any adverse events you may have experienced and if you had to seek medical care as a result.

Timeline of surveillance

Depending on your survey responses, your state/territory health department or immunisation provider may contact you to collect more details.

What happens to the information you provide?

Your responses will contribute to the national mpox vaccine safety surveillance that AusVaxSafety is conducting as part of Australia's comprehensive vaccine safety monitoring.

What about your personal data?

AusVaxSafety only receives responses that are de-identified to protect your privacy. This means any information that could identify you will be removed.
