Additional vaccines will help ensure the UK can protect those that may be at high risk from mpox

29/08/2024

NaTHNaC posted a news item about mpox last Friday. The position on vaccination for travellers is that (as posted on TravelHealthPro), the UK does not currently recommend pre-travel vaccination for mpox. The JCVI continues to review latest data on the current Clade 1 mpox outbreak and will continue to update vaccination recommendations accordingly. See https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/news/792/mpox-outbreak-in-africa-clade-1-mpox-virus-infection However extra precautions are recommended including checking the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advice on whether it is advised to travel to the traveller's intended destination.

The NHS previously offered a countrywide vaccination schedule to people most likely to be exposed to mpox. This included some healthcare workers, some men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with other men and people who had close contact with someone with mpox. This nationwide vaccine programme ended in July 2023, although vaccine is still available to these high risk groups in certain areas of the country. The NHS site has more information at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/mpox/
