PRIME THIS MONTH

The UKHSA* have issued an Mpox health alert. 

There have been 16 cases of a different strain of Mpox called ‘Clade IB’ in England in the last month. At the moment most cases have been seen in gay men returning from travel in Spain, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands or the US. Health officials are concerned as this strain appears to spread more easily.

If you’re heading to any Pride events in Europe this season, we recommend you get vaccinated before you go. 

Mpox (formerly called monkeypox) is usually mild, but it can be serious. It causes a rash or pus-filled spots that can last 2–4 weeks. You might also get fever, aches, swollen glands and feel really tired. It spreads through close contact — including sex, cuddling, and even sharing towels or bedding.

The good news is that the existing Mpox vaccine should protect against this strain. If you’ve already had 2 doses of Mpox vaccine you’re sorted.

If you haven’t had 2 doses, there’s time to get protected. Call us on 020 3315 5656 and ask for a vaccine appointment or we can sort it out at your next routine PrEP appointment.
