With more than 25,000 members, the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) is the Commonwealth’s largest physician-led organization and a leading voice in health care policy, public health, and clinical medical education.
The MMS’s new monkeypox webpage contains useful, curated information and guidance for physicians and patients from the CDC, the state, and others.
MMS continues to compile and update a collection of FREE resources to help physicians navigate the COVID-19 vaccine.
