NHS England will provide further information on vaccination for eligible individuals in due course. On 21 June 2022, the UK Health Security Agency published a targeted vaccine strategy which recommends that gay and bisexual men and men who have sex with men at higher risk of exposure to monkeypox should be offered the vaccine outbreak. Vaccines are also being offered to at-risk healthcare workers.
