The CDC highlight that the public is urged to provide accurate information while completing the registration form in order to safeguard the immunization services of registered people as well as their own rights and interests. Services for immunization cannot be offered if people do not sign up on the "Monkeypox Vaccination Registration Platform," thus consideration should be given to avoid registering more than once since the system will automatically check and preserve a record of the initial registration that was made. Following completion of registration, the general public will be notified via email and can then schedule an appointment for outpatient registration at the chosen vaccination hospital.
