Vaccination Against Mpox Using MVA-BN Vaccines

Since May 2022 public health agencies in the United Kingdom have been responding to an outbreak of mpox.  

 The Green Book chapter as updated in September 2024 to include information on the recent increase in clade 1 MPXV, this includes new information on vaccine effectiveness and advice on outbreak response. 

 In order to support practitioners NHS Education for Scotland in partnership with Public Health Scotland have reviewed and updated this learning resource in relation to the use of MVA-BN vaccines.    

 The Green Book Chapter 29 states that MVA-BN vaccines can be administered using subcutaneous, intramuscular and intradermal techniques, additional resources are available on each of these administration routes  

NOTE: These educational resources continue to be updated as required to support this programme but do not replace the clinical judgement of practitioners. Practitioners should ensure that they are accessing the most current version and should refer to local and national guidance.  

 Practitioners may find it useful to access the Public Health Scotland MPox guidance and information webpage, which will be updated regularly.
