Monkeypox vaccination programme to shut down in Manchester as people advised to book appointments before deadline

Anyone who is eligible to receive the monkeypox vaccination has been advised to book an appointment soon as the programme will soon be coming to an end in Greater Manchester.

The year-long roll-out is due to finish in the city-region next week. Those looking to get a first dose vaccination from the virus, also known as mpox, have until June 16 to book an appointment.

Second doses can be booked through selected sexual health services until July 23. This will also mean that anyone who gets their first dose in the last week of the programme will still be able to get their second.
