answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2022 answer text <p>In August 2022, following the emergency use approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation endorsed the use of a fractional dose of the vaccines used for monkeypox given by intradermal injection during periods of supply constraints.</p><p>Under the approach, eligible people are offered a 0.1 millilitre (ml) dose of the vaccines, instead of the 0.5ml dose typically administered. This will potentially enable up to a five-fold increase in the number of people that can be offered vaccination. NHS England and the UKHSA are currently assessing the operational feasibility of using fractional dosing, including necessary staffing model, vaccination throughput, volume and patient experience.</p> answering member constituency Sleaford and North Hykeham answering member printed Dr Caroline Johnson question first answered 22/09/2022 08:40:31 answering member 4592 label Biography information for Dr Caroline Johnson
