Mpox vaccination preparation road map

The Mpox vaccination preparation road map is developed to support countries in planning mpox vaccine introduction and implementation. The road map contains a series of recommended actions for countries to ensure mpox vaccines can be used safely, effectively and efficiently once they are accessed. The road map is designed to further support countries in preparing possible applications for mpox vaccine supply through multilateral mechanisms once they are finalized (such as a global stockpile managed by the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision (ICG), the Access and Allocation Mechanism (AAM), etc.).

This road map can be used both by countries with active mpox outbreaks preparing to use mpox vaccines as components of their emergency response and by countries not currently experiencing an outbreak but looking to ensure vaccine preparedness for a possible future one.
