Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation also recommends routine vaccination against mpox for those at highest risk
The UK’s Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has recommended that people in the United Kingdom at increased risk of contracting gonorrhoea should be offered the 4CMenB vaccine (Bexsero) to reduce their risk.
The JCVI recommendation must be reviewed by the Department of Health and Social Care before the vaccine can be offered through sexual health clinics. Devolved health departments in Scotland and Northern Ireland usually follow JCVI recommendations.
The JCVI says that although gay and bisexual men should be the primary targets for a vaccine offer, others judged at increased risk of contracting gonorrhoea should also be eligible for the vaccine.
