UK recommends monkeypox vaccine for some men at risk

“While most cases are mild, some people can develop severe illness, so it’s important that we use the available vaccine for target populations where the spread is underway.” The British authorities are asking you not to offer you a vaccine yourself for the time being. “Soon, eligible people will receive details on how the vaccination will proceed,” it said.

In the meantime, Ramsay advises everyone to stay alert for any new spots, sores or blisters on any part of their body, “especially if they’ve been in close contact with a new partner.”
