Abstract: During the 2022-2023 mpox outbreak in the United States, the federal government distributed mpox vaccines to individual states. Significant variation in vaccine coverage was noted across states. State-level factors associated with higher vaccine coverage were Democratic political orientation, higher public health spending, higher proportion of at-risk population, and higher mpox cases.
