Monkeypox vaccine rationed by giving mini doses

Monkeypox vaccine rationed by giving mini doses Three NHS sites are set to begin a pilot offering eligible patients smaller doses of monkeypox vaccine, amid global shortages of the jab.

The fractional dosing approach has been authorised in the US and the EU, as well as the UK. BBC News
