Mpox immunization coverage survey: Mpox vaccination coverage
Interactive data visualizations on mpox vaccination coverage among high at-risk populations in Canada.
- Last updated: ...
Vaccination coverage (or immunization coverage) is the percentage of a population that’s immunized against a disease.
This dashboard has detailed data on mpox vaccination coverage in Canada. Data come from the 2023 and 2024 Mpox Immunization Coverage Surveys in 2SLGBTQI+ and men who have sex with men (MSM) populations. We report on populations likely to be at higher risk of mpox infection according to data for the year. This gives us a better understanding of mpox vaccination in Canada. The data add to existing research and may help generate further research and foster mpox vaccination monitoring in Canada.

- vaccination coverage in 2SLGBTQI+ people was 29%
