The world’s first vaccine against gonorrhoea is set to be rolled out in the UK amid a surge in cases of the sexually transmitted infection.
Initially the vaccine will not be available to everyone, with a focus on vaccinating gay and bisexual men with a history of multiple sexual partners or an STI.
85,000 cases of gonorrhoea were reported in 2023, the highest number since records began in the year 1918. The rollout of the vaccine is due to begin in August by NHS England, with NHS Scotland also looking into a similar rollout.
Though the vaccine is understood to be only 30-40% effective, the NHS remains hopeful it will help to curb the spike in infections and thus relieve pressure on sexual health clinics.
“The launch of a world-first routine vaccination for gonorrhoea is a huge step forward for sexual health and will be crucial in protecting individuals, helping to prevent the spread of infection and reduce the rising rates of antibiotic resistance strains of the bacteria,” said Dr Amanda Doyle, from NHS England.
She added: “NHS teams across the country are now working hard to plan the rollout and ensure we hit the ground running, while the routine mpox vaccination programme builds on the vital progress the NHS has made in recent months in reaching as many eligible people as possible.”
Ashley Dalton, minister for health, encouraged people to take the vaccine, saying it would “not only keep each other safe but help tackle the growing threat of antibiotic resistance”.
“By targeting those most at risk, we can reduce transmission rates from this unpleasant disease that is becoming harder to treat and prevent thousands of cases over the next few years,” Dalton continued.
Last year, in an interview with BBC Newsbeat, Prof Matt Phillips, president of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH), commented on the gonorrhoea situation in the UK saying: “If we don’t deal with it now, we’re going to see more people with serious types of gonorrhoea and more cases of antibiotic resistance,” he says.
“The science says we should do this, the JCVI says we should do this. Let’s get it done.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Remember when the argument was being made that "gays" would be happier and healthier if they could just get "married?" Since Obergefell redefined marriage in 2015, STD rates have skyrocketed through the stratosphere to historically new highs.
They also issued a wanting to stay off of tractors.
Cosmo Kramer is going to have to find a new hobby since he won’t be able to pretend to have gonorrhea anymore.
Does remove Rafe’s responsibility?
Seems all the epidemics of disease are loudly reported but the ones the gays bring in.
In 2023 did thie gonorrhoea epidemic get news coverage?
i don’t remember hearing of it.
Gay pride, folks.
Who is this?
Abort! Abort!
This gonorrhea "vaccine" is only about 30% effective, but the sodomites will still bank their lives on it.

Keeping their things out of places they don’t belong have better percentages than vaccines. We all know how that last vax worked out.
If you catch as a guy, you are "gay."
Now they need something for Monkey pox. LOL.
They want their cake and eat it too. If you notice and bring it up for discussion, they respond with the tired argument, "anyone can catch it," making it NOT a gay thing.
But their ditching the story on the 5th page of section D tells us more than they realize. If anyone can get it, then why hide it?
If it’s only 30% effective, I can see resistance becoming a problem real quick...
It's funny how they all clamber for vaccines right before "pride month." As if they know they'll need them.
Exactly. More false security. More reckless behavior. More disease. More tepid vaccines.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
It’s apparently not even a gonorreah (sp) vaccine, but rather a meningitis vaccine. The two bacteria are apparently similar.
I’ve traveled to my share of third world shotholes, and got the meningitis vaccine because you literally can get it from swamp water (which we would trudge through) or sewage leaks.
They do. The small pox vaccine works.
Well, as much as the UK is being dominated by the murderous and rapey Moon God Cult, I would not be surprised to see mass deaths of “vaccinated” gay men.
And a huge outbreak out STDs.
It’s not as satisfying as any of the usual methods of killing, though. I could be wrong.
Up to 86% effective is not very impressive. That's similar odds to surviving in a game of Russian Roulette with a 6-shooter.
