Some local pharmacies across Victoria will be offering free mpox vaccination until 30 June 2025 as part of the Mpox Community Pharmacy Initiative. The time-limited initiative means eligible people can receive the mpox vaccine at participating pharmacies without paying any out-of-pocket fees. No Medicare card required.

Pharmacies participating in this initiative are listed in the tables below. Contact your preferred pharmacy to check vaccine availability and whether an appointment is required.
