Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many additional doses of Imvanex, for protection against the monkeypox virus, have been ordered to date; and when those doses are planned to be available.

The UK Health Security Agency has procured more than 100,000 doses of the smallpox vaccine Jynneos, which is pharmaceutically identical to Imvanex. This is in addition to approximately 30,000 doses of Imvanex vaccine previously procured. The first of the doses of Jynneos will arrive in July, with the remainder expected by September 2022.
