The UK National Health Services (NHS) is reportedly set to begin pilot programmes offering smaller-than-recommended doses of the monkeypox vaccine to those eligible, to combat the global shortage of the vaccine.
According to experts, the 'mini doses' are just as effective as the full doses and have already been authorised in the US and countries in the EU, reported BBC.
According to the US CDC's data, around 41,358 cases of monkeypox have been detected globally since the outbreaks began in March 2022.
