With deadlier mpox strain spreading in Central Africa what's holding up vaccinations?

  • Currency: EUR

The last mpox outbreak is new, it may not create problems similar with covid-19 but it may create problems. At least for now the World Health Organization is hoping an international vaccination campaign will stop the outbreaks of mpox in Africa within six months while the UN agency's first shipment of vaccines is due to arrive in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the next few days.

A new type of mpox called 'clade 1b' appears to be deadlier and able to spread from person to person more easily than previous forms. Mortality rates are as high as 10 percent of infections. The type clade 1b mpox was first detected in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in central Africa, where it started spreading in September 2023.

The infections have since been reported in Cameroon, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Rwanda. New cases in Uganda and Kenya in early August 2024 were also linked to clade 1b.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has been hit particularly hard by cases of clade 1b mpox cases. More than 13,000 people have been infected. The vast majority of deaths (85 percent) were in children under 15 years of age — they accounted for 68 percent of cases. The disease is more common among males, who accounted for 73 percent of all cases reported.

  • Build and design a responsive Joomla website

    Websites are considered visual brands for any person, entity, product or service. They are a way to show to the entire world (or, at least, to the targeted niche) what someone is doing during this period, what you sell or what you offer now. The first step is establishing the strategy for the following months or years - that's as important as the design and site itself.
