If your site sees patients who are eligible for the monkeypox vaccine, we encourage you to enroll as a Jynneos vaccine provider. Sites are not required to see non-patients, but we do encourage providers to offer walk-in vaccine availability and if possible, vaccinate non-patients.
Note: this vaccine is administered intradermally, and may require some additional training of staff to administer appropriately.Please complete the enrollment form if your site is interested in offering Jynneos vaccine.
