The 200,000 doses are just a fraction of the 3 million doses authorities have said are needed to end the mpox outbreaks in Congo,Since the start of 2024, there have been 5,549 confirmed mpox cases across the continent, with 643 associated deaths, representing a sharp escalation in both infections and fatalities compared to previous years. The cases in Congo constituted 91% of the total number.
Congo issued an emergency approval of the vaccine, which has already been used in Europe and the United States in adults. For the moment, the rollout will be reserved for adults, with priority targeted groups being those who have been in close contact with infected people and sex workers, the Africa Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director-General Dr. Jean Kaseya told reporters on Friday.
