As the UK's monkeypox vaccine supplies diminish, a health expert has shared guidance for people unvaccinated from the viral disease. The latest figures confirm 71 Scottish cases - an increase of four from the last week, reports Public Health Scotland (PHS).
Doctors have warned jabs will run out within 'days', leaving a month-long gap before the next shipment in September, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. Without more doses, the disease could become endemic, warned Dr Claire Dewsnap, president of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH).
The UK has the greatest number of monkeypox cases globally. The vaccination programme in Scotland is offering jabs to gay and bisexual men at higher risk of exposure, along with healthcare workers in high-risk settings.
