I'll ask my GP. I do not fool around with getting vaccines as needed, that's for sure. I just don't know what the policy is.

Would I be a bad person if I fibbed to public health to get an Mpox vaccine by telling them I have multiple sex partners? I don't but I would like one because it's spread by touch.

I'd weigh up your risk factors. Could get it by just telling the truth if you're in a risk group.

It's mostly that I work in health care and it spreads by touch.
