ALT Dr Katy Sinka, Head of Sexually Transmitted Infections at UKHSA: The ways in which we are seeing mpox continue to spread globally is a reminder to come forward for the vaccine, if you are eligible. Although mpox infection is mild for many, it can be severe. Getting vaccinated is a proven effective way to protect yourself against severe disease, so please make sure to get the jab if you are eligible. It is important to remain alert to the risks from this unpleasant illness. Anyone who thinks they may have mpox should contact NHS 111 for advice on what to do.
