Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, where in the country the 100,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine due to arrive in September 2022 will be distributed.

Decisions on allocations of vaccines across the United Kingdom are made in partnership with the devolved administrations, with eligibility for vaccination determined by the UK Health Security Agency’s vaccination strategy. Allocation of vaccines are determined by occurrence, distribution and control of infectious and non-infectious diseases in populations, which is kept under constant review. Public health authorities will distribute these allocations in local areas.
