MPV (Monkeypox) Vaccines
PHNTX is now offering MPV vaccines to eligible individuals (eligibility information below). There are limited supplies of vaccines. The MPV Vaccine Hotline is currently open and will remain open as long as the vaccine and appointment availability, as well as our staffing availability, allows us to call you back within a reasonable time to schedule your appointment.
To make an appointment, please call our hotline at 469-802-2400.
As the demand for MPV Vaccines continues to outweigh the supply, we are doing our best to vaccinate as many individuals as quickly as possible.
We appreciate your cooperation and ask that you continue to check the MPV Hotline and leave a voicemail, when available, and we will return your call to schedule your vaccination appointment.
PLEASE NOTE: Effective immediately, per CDC guidelines and the direction of Dallas County Health Dept, we are only administering the JYNNEOS Monkeypox vaccine using the Intradermal administration method at this time.
How to Make an Appointment
Make an appointment by calling the PHNTX MPV Hotline at 469-802-2400.
If you called and left a message, someone will call you back in the order that we received your call. Given the high volume of calls received, it could take 4 – 5 business days for your call to be returned.
Please do not call the main Prism Health North Texas or individual health center phone numbers for MPV vaccine appointments.
Vaccination is by appointment only and can only be made by calling the MPV hotline. Walk-ins will not be accepted at this time.
Only a person with a scheduled appointment will be eligible to receive a vaccination.
Current patients of both Uptown Physicians Group and Prism Health North Texas will need to also call this line to schedule an appointment. Individual health centers will not have MPV vaccines.
