Appointments for monkeypox vaccines are now fully booked out just one day after designated centres for the vaccine opened.
Appointments were being offered as of yesterday to five cohorts listed on the HSE website. The HSE estimates that between 6,000 to 13,000 people could benefit from a primary monkeypox vaccination.
The wider rollout of the smallpox vaccine, which is now being used to help prevent at risk groups from contracting monkeypox, was previously welcomed by groups such as HIV Ireland. Further appointments will be made available in November.
