Abstract text

Human Monkeypox (HMPX) has been spreading to non-endemic countries rapidly during spring-summer 2022 through human-to-human transmission, involving thousands of people, mostly men-who-have-sex-with-men. Little is known about the degree of protection due to previous smallpox vaccination. The cases described in our series show a mild clinical presentation of HMPX in those previously vaccinated. Our data are encouraging, and further investigations may lead to a fast public health prevention strategy.
