The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is unable to provide the information requested as it is commercially sensitive.

The UKHSA has purchased more than 20,000 doses of Imvanex. On 21 June 2022, the UKHSA recommended that gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men at higher risk of exposure to monkeypox should be offered the vaccine. Vaccines are also being offered to at-risk healthcare workers. Several thousand doses have been distributed, while remaining doses are retained centrally. The UKHSA has sufficient supply to meet current needs and is working with suppliers to procure additional doses if necessary.
