"Africa says it needs an estimated ten million doses of mpox vaccine to control
this public health emergency.
The situation is particularly concerning in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, which has reported more than 27,000 suspected mpox cases and more than
1,300 deaths so far this year.
Europe and the United States have promised to donate mpox vaccines. In an
emergency, donations are welcome. But donations are a charity “bandaid”
solution that can’t be relied on.
Here’s what needs to happen next to ensure equitable access to mpox vaccines
for this and the next health emergency."
