Clinical Practice Guidelines
The Clinical Practice Guidelines for Adult Immunization may be used as a reference while navigating issues regarding vaccines and vaccination. They are intended for the use of physicians, other healthcare workers who vaccinate in different settings, and medical students. These guidelines also serve as a reference for policymakers to guide them in establishing vaccination programs.
For each vaccine included in this document, the technical working group came up with background and foreground questions, while considering the following outcomes: incidence of the disease, clinical progress, microbiological cure, mortality, and hospitalization.

The Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (PSMID) Guidance on the Management of Mpox, Ver. 1 provides the basic and most updated information on management of patients confirmed with mpox.
This guidance complements the mpox recommendations of the DOH (Updated Interim Guidelines on the Prevention, Detection, and Management of MPOX, by Department of Health, August 26, 2024, Department Memorandum 2024-0306) and PHICS-PHICNA (Interim Guidelines on the Prevention and Control of Monkeypox version 1).
The antivirals, immunoglobulin and vaccines discussed below are not available locally. In our local situation, we should maximize supportive care for mpox cases.
