MPV Prevention

Due to a national shortage of MPV vaccines, it is important to take steps to prevent the spread of MPV.

Vaccination for MPV

Howard Brown has received a limited supply of MPV vaccines to administer to qualifying patients at our 55th St., Clark, Halsted, and Sheridan locations. Due to the limited stock available, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) has provided the below guidelines to help determine vaccine eligibility.

Testing for MPV

CDPH recommends MPV screening for patients who meet the following criteria:

Treatment for MPV

Tecovirimat (TPOXX) is an available treatment for qualifying people with severe MPV. Because TPOXX is available through the CDC’s Expanded Access Investigational New Drug (EA-IND) protocol, we are required to obtain written informed consent prior to starting the medication.

Tips for Recovery

If you have screened positive for MPV or are experiencing MPV symptoms, it is important to do what you can to minimize the chance of exposure to others.
