Health Advisory: Recent Rise of Mpox Cases in California and the Bay Area
August 27, 2025 – The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is reporting an increase in clade II mpox cases in California during July and August 2025, predominantly in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a reminder, mpox testing should be considered for sexually active patients with compatible signs and symptoms (PDF), regardless of vaccination status or previous infection. Mpox vaccination with two doses is recommended for individuals who may be at risk for mpox to prevent severe illness, need for hospitalization, and death. This health advisory also includes updated CDPH vaccination recommendations to simplify assessment and improve community vaccination coverage among those at increased risk of exposure.
