New vaccines to help protect against gonorrhoea and MPOX are now available through the NHS for people most at risk of the infection. This marks a significant advancement in sexual health care particularly in addressing antibiotic-resistant strains of gonorrhoea and MPOX.
Gonorrhoea
Who Can Get the Vaccine?
The NHS is currently offering the gonorrhoea vaccine to people who are at higher risk of infection. This includes:
- Men who have sex with men (MSM)
- Those who have had a bacterial STI in the last 12 months
- A recent history of multiple partners
- Those identified as being at increased risk following a sexual health assessment
Eligibility will be determined by a healthcare professional, usually during a consultation at a sexual health clinic.
