With a recent increase in mpox cases in Riverside County and upcoming Pride events, Riverside University Health System – Public Health (RUHS - PH) officials are reminding residents and visitors that the two-dose vaccination is one of the best protections against the disease.

“As we look ahead to the Pride events in November, we are excited to welcome in visitors from near and far to celebrate with us. We encourage participants to protect themselves by making sure they have received both doses of the JYNNEOS (mpox) vaccine. Vaccination against mpox is effective, and when combined with other prevention strategies, is one of the best ways to avoid illness,” said Riverside County Public Health Officer Dr. Jennifer Chevinsky.
