More clinics will run in the region over the next two weeks
A monkeypox clinic will run in Greater Manchester next week, with more planned for the coming fortnight.
Vaccines will be available at The Orange Rooms on Old Street in Ashton-under-Lyne on Tuesday as health officials continue their bid to manage the outbreak of the viral disease. The clinic will run from 10am to 7pm and people can book here. Further clinics will then run in the region over the next two weeks, NHS bosses said, with specific details yet to be announced. They come after the Greater Manchester became the first place in the country to trial smaller but equally effective doses of the jab.
