Mpox has affected many communities in the United States (U.S.), including people experiencing homelessness (PEH). Mpox vaccination has been an important tool to disrupt transmission and protect communities at risk of infection. To better understand mpox vaccine knowledge and attitudes, we surveyed 273 PEH and people accessing homeless service sites in San Francisco. Among 64 participants previously offered mpox vaccination, 38 (59 %) had received the vaccine. Among 209 participants not previously offered mpox vaccination, 108 (52 %) reported they would receive the vaccine. Vaccine acceptance was higher among transgender female participants and among male participants who reported male sex partner preference (MSM). Half of participants who declined vaccination identified that perception of personal risk and vaccine education may increase their likelihood of receiving an mpox vaccine. Leveraging trusted information sources to provide risk communication and vaccine education may increase vaccine uptake among PEH.
猴痘已影响美国（U.S.）的许多社区，包括无家可归者（PEH）。接种猴痘疫苗是阻断传播和保护感染风险人群的重要工具。为了更好地了解猴痘疫苗的知识和态度，我们在旧金山对 273 名无家可归者和接受无家可归者服务的人进行了调查。在 64 名此前被提供过猴痘疫苗接种的参与者中，有 38 人（59%）已经接种了疫苗。在 209 名此前未被提供猴痘疫苗接种的参与者中，有 108 人（52%）表示他们将接种疫苗。在跨性别女性参与者和报告男性性伴侣偏好（MSM）的男性参与者中，疫苗接种的接受程度更高。一半拒绝接种疫苗的参与者表示，对个人风险的认识和疫苗教育可能会增加他们接种猴痘疫苗的可能性。利用值得信赖的信息来源进行风险沟通和疫苗教育可能会增加无家可归者的疫苗接种率。
