Monkeypox cases in Scotland have risen by two in the latest report from Public Health Scotland (PHS). There have now been 46 laboratory-confirmed cases of the virus in Scotland since 23 May 2022.
According to PHS, the cases in Scotland are mostly in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with men. A link has also be found in those who have recently travelled to London or Europe.
This comes as a pre-exposure programme sets off with some high-risk groups being offered a vaccine for the condition. A small number of healthcare workers who work in high-risk settings will also be offered the Imvanex vaccine.
