Analysis reveals self-efficacy predicts vaccination intention for monkeypox in men who have sex with men, suggesting targeted campaigns are needed.
The majority of MSM had the intention to receive the Mpox vaccination. It is suggested that the vaccination program should focus on young MSM in response to the Mpox outbreak in the future. The PMT constructs can be applied to predict Mpox vaccination intention among MSM. Future Mpox vaccination promotion strategies can be based on the PMT constructs of maladaptive rewards, response efficacy, self-efficacy, and response costs to improve the Mpox vaccination intention of the MSM population.
