New UK Public Health Awareness Campaign -- Urging Sexually Active UK / European Gay Men To Consider Mpox Vaccination...


This is good advice. See below.

Here's the latest -- from the BBC:

. . .UK health officials are encouraging gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men to make sure they are vaccinated against mpox, as a strain called 'clade Ib' shows early signs of local spread in some European countries.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says it is aware of small numbers of cases of this strain of mpox. . . in Spain, Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands, as well as the US.

Mpox is usually a mild infection but it can be severe and getting vaccinated is the best protection, the UKHSA says.

Charities also urged vaccination before travelling to Winter Pride events in Europe this autumn. . . .


Be careful out there. Onward.
