A monkeypox vaccine clinic will be held in Manchester this weekend in a bid to boost protection across the city-region ahead of Manchester Pride this month.
It comes as cases of the virus reached over 50 in Manchester and 100 in Greater Manchester. While anyone can get monkeypox, the majority of cases being identified are among gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men (MSM).
Due to a very limited national supply of the vaccine, sexual health services across the conurbation are currently contacting people who are at a highest risk of monkeypox to offer them the opportunity.
