MPOX © Agence régionale de santé Île-de-France - 2024 Mpox: Consider Vaccination The Mpox virus is still circulating in France. It is transmitted through very close contact with the skin of an infected person. Various symptoms may appear, such as spots or scabs on the face or genitals, fever, and painful swollen lymph nodes. PREVENTION AND VACCINATION The Mpox virus particularly affects men who have sex with men, individuals with multiple sexual partners, transgender people, and sex workers.
