It is possible to get vaccinated against Mpox virusmore commonly known as “monkeypox”, in Oise.

France is in a “state of maximum vigilance” as the WHO declared a public health emergency of international concern this summer due to the active circulation of Mpox in Africa.

Worrying symptoms

A virus that causes many symptoms and which could arrive in France soon, according to the Ministry of Health.

As a result, “the French health authorities have strengthened their preventive vaccination strategy this fall,” indicates the regional health agency (ARS) of Hauts-de-France. In Oise, it is possible to get vaccinated against this virus in three different places. Here they are.

In Beauvais, Creil and Compiègne

• CeGIDD of Beauvais – 91 rue Saint-Pierre in Beauvais,
• CeGIDD of Compiègne – 8 avenue Henri Adnot in Compiegne,
• Pharmacy of the forecourt – 45 bis rue de la République in Creil.

They are available by appointment by telephone or on online appointment platforms.

The preventive vaccination offer against this virus is thus reinforced in Hauts-de-France.

Who should get vaccinated?

But who exactly is this preventive vaccination against Mpox intended for? According to the ARS, it is recommended for people most exposed to the virus such as men who have sex with men with multiple sexual partners, trans people with multiple sexual partners, sex workers, professionals working in sexual encounter places and partners or people sharing the same living space as people mentioned above.

“Vaccination can also be considered on a case-by-case basis for health professionals who are required to care for sick people,” specifies the Hauts-de-France regional health agency.

As a reminder, the 2024 strain of the virus (Clade I) is not present in France and the circulation of the 2022 strain (Clade II) of the virus remains marginal in the territory.

The vaccination schedule includes 1 to 3 doses depending on the situation. “The High Authority for Health recommends a booster vaccination for people at risk of exposure who have already been vaccinated since 2022.”
