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.

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.
