Authorities in Congo have announced the arrival of 50,000 doses of mpox vaccine from the United States, following a previous delivery from the European Union. The vaccines are intended to combat the ongoing outbreak of monkeypox in the country.
The affected provinces of Equateur, South Kivu, and Sankuru will be the first to receive vaccinations, with the campaign set to commence on October 2nd. The vaccines, known as JYNNEOS, are manufactured by Danish company Bavarian Nordic and have been donated by the EU through its health emergency agency, HERA.
