New symptoms of monkeypox listed as vaccines rolled out

New monkeypox symptoms have been revealed in a latest study while a lead scientist of the report has warned that the virus has "no borders". A vaccination programme against monkeypox is being stepped up by the NHS as more supplies of a jab come on stream.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said it had procured 100,000 more doses of an effective vaccine as monkeypox cases continue to rise. As of July 18, there were 2,137 confirmed cases in the UK, with 2,050 in England.

It is known to cause flu-like symptoms and rashes with small spots which blister before scabbing over. But now other new symptoms have also been discovered.
