Last week, the UK Health Security Agency said that there were “early signs” that the monkeypox outbreak is plateauing across the country and its expansion has slowed. Dr Mary Ramsay, director of Clinical Programmes at UKHSA, said: “The recent and sudden global outbreak of monkeypox has caused a huge upsurge in demand for these limited stocks around the world.” Britain is on the brink of running out of monkeypox vaccines as the country has little more than 8,300 doses of vaccine left, it is claimed In June, the British authorities were recommending gay and bisexual men at higher risk of exposure to monkeypox should be offered a vaccine, as the outbreak of the viral disease gathers pace mostly in Europe. It comes as US health officials authorised a new monkeypox vaccination strategy designed to stretch limited supplies by allowing health professionals to vaccinate up to five people — instead of one — with each vial. Last month, the World Health Organisation declared monkeypox as a “public health emergency of international concern”, its highest alert level.
