He said monkeypox did not spread easily between people and that it was generally through "skin-to-skin transmission".Mr Reid said they would also consider vaccinating healthcare workers, but would take advice from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee on the matter.On Thursday, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said it was "inevitable" that monkeypox will be detected in the Republic of Ireland.
