GGD Hollands Midden vaccinates preventively against monkeypox

GGD Hollands Midden started preventive vaccination against monkeypox on Tuesday. People who are at increased risk of the monkeypox virus will receive a personal invitation for the vaccination.

GGD Hollands Midden calls on you not to contact them yourself, but to wait for the invitation. It is not possible to make an appointment for a monkeypox vaccination on your own initiative.

In recent weeks, people who had been in close contact with an infected person have already been vaccinated, but from now on preventive vaccinations will also be carried out. To this end, the Sexual Health and Infectious Disease Control teams of the GGD work together with HIV treatment centers and general practitioners in the region.
