Only seven of planned 11 monkeypox vaccination centres open, says advocacy group 

Just last week it was announced the vaccine would be available from 11 centres starting on Monday.

Only seven of the planned eleven monkeypox vaccination centres are open, with all appointment slots booked up within hours, the MPower gay advocacy group said.

The HSE began the rollout of the vaccines on Monday, following a much-criticised delayed start compared to other EU countries. However by 8pm that evening all slots were full.
