Mpox vaccination data

Overview

Mpox is a viral infection that has re-emerged in recent years. Vaccination plays a critical role in preventing the spread of mpox and protecting public health. This page provides data on mpox vaccination coverage across Australia.

Vaccination coverage

The data presented on this page reflects the number of mpox vaccine doses administered to individuals, as reported to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). It is important to note that reporting to the AIR is not mandatory, so the numbers provided may represent an undercount of the actual vaccinations administered.

Table 1: Monthly National Mpox vaccination figures, as at 7 April 2025
2025	January	February	March
No. Individuals received at least 1 Dose	1620	1350	1010
No. Individuals received at least 2 Doses	1630	1285	1080
Total	3245	2630	2090
Caveats: It is not mandatory to report mpox vaccinations to the AIR, so the numbers provided may represent an undercount of the actual administrations of the vaccine. There is a known administrative lag in the AIR data. AIR data may fluctuate over time based on the timing of providers uploading vaccine administration information into AIR. Data with fewer than 25 vaccinations have been suppressed to reduce the risk of re-identification, and doses reported have been rounded to the nearest 5.
