Mpox Vaccine Information

Mpox Vaccine Information
 

The State of CT has initiated its plan to vaccinate eligible individuals at clinics throughout the state (details in link below).  The closest clinics to us are in Danbury and Torrington, and vaccinations are by appointment only.  There are more details regarding vaccination in the links below.

Widespread vaccination for Mpox is not recommended at this time, so the Newtown Health District is not one of the designated vaccination clinics.

If a resident considers themselves to be a person at high risk due to exposure, they should contact their healthcare provider or the Newtown Health District for evaluation and possible referral to vaccination.
