Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo expect the arrival of over 99,000 doses of mpox vaccines this week, amidst rising concerns about a more deadly strain. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed that these vaccines, donated by the European Union and manufactured by Bavarian Nordic, were crucial in combating over 18,000 suspected cases, particularly as children make up half of the reported infections and the death toll rises, primarily among children.
