Pre-exposure vaccination in the high-risk population is crucial in controlling mpox resurgence in Canada.

ABSTRACT: As mpox spread continues across several endemic and non-endemic countries around the world, vaccination has become an integral part of the global response to control the epidemic. Some vaccines have been recommended for use against mpox by the World Health Organization (WHO). As the roll-out of mpox vaccines continue across the globe, it is imperative to develop mathematical models to support public health officials and governments agencies in optimizing vaccination strategies to curtail the resurgence of mpox. In this article, we develop a compartmental mathematical model to investigate the impact of vaccination in controlling a potential mpox resurgence in Canada. The model categorizes individuals into high- and low-risk groups and incorporates pre-exposure vaccination in the high-risk g
