You asked
I would like to know the most up to date smallpox vaccination data in the UK.
I understand that smallpox vaccines were discontinued in the UK in 1971. Therefore, I'd like to know what proportion of the current UK population have ever received a smallpox vaccine, and so what proportion of the vaccine are immune or susceptible to monkeypox as a result.

Thank you for your enquiry,
Unfortunately, we do not hold data on smallpox vaccinations.
We would suggest contacting the World Health Organisation or the UK Health Security Agency for further information.
