Since 1 May 2022, the UK Health Security Agency has procured all available stock of the smallpox vaccines Imvanex and JYNNEOS. This amounts to more than 150,000 doses, all doses have now been delivered to the United Kingdom.

Approximately just under 70,000 doses have been made available to the National Health Service in England for the pre-exposure programme for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, for contacts of cases and for some healthcare workers.
