UK health officials say the move could help control the recent and unusual outbreak of the disease.

Health officials say they are continuing to see "a notable proportion of cases in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men".A doctor may now advise vaccination for someone who, for example, "has multiple partners, participates in group sex or attends 'sex on premises' venues", UKHSA says.More details are due to be set out shortly on how they can take up the offer.

If you have these symptoms, the advice is to avoid close contact with others and call NHS 111 or your local sexual health centre - but call ahead first. Robbie de Santos, from charity Stonewall, said: "While we know anyone can catch monkeypox, we welcome the vaccine being offered to those gay and bi men who are eligible, who are currently at a higher risk of getting the virus."Let's help get the outbreak under control so we can all have a safe and happy pride season," he added.

More staff caring for monkeypox patients and workers in laboratories where the virus is being handled are also now being offered the vaccine.
