The Department of Health will vaccinate those with a high risk of developing the monkeypox against the disease starting on Thursday. Given the low availability of doses, the health system will call people following its own prioritisation criteria. The Secretary of Public Health, Carmen Cabezas, has explained that a double strategy will be rolled out, following the Ministry of Health's guidelines, and only taking risk factors into account. On the one hand, vaccination will be offered to children, pregnant women and patients under immunosuppressive treatment who have been in contact with a case in the first four days after exposure, as well as to health professionals who were not wearing any type of protection when they attended a case. On the other hand, preventive vaccination will be started for people who have not been exposed to the virus but who are at high risk of infection: people who engage in high-risk sexual activity, mainly men who have sex with other men, who are taking prEP or who have HIV. In addition, they must be under 45 years of age (to exclude anyone previously vaccinated against smallpox), must not have suffered from the disease, must not have had contact with a positive case in the previous 10 days and must not present symptoms compatible with the infection.
