Monkeypox Vaccine & EligibilityImvamune® vaccine is approved in Canada for protection against monkeypox. The vaccine can be used for protection against monkeypox before getting exposed to the virus (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis – PrEP) or after being exposed (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis – PEP). At this time, people who have or have had monkeypox are not eligible for the vaccine. Toronto Public Health continues to follow federal and provincial guidance on the administration of Imvamune vaccines to protect at-risk populations against the monkeypox virus. If you think you have monkeypox, it’s important to isolate right away and contact a health care provider.
