(Reuters) -The head of Democratic Republic of Congo’s mpox outbreak response said on Wednesday that Congo expects to receive its first delivery of mpox vaccine doses on Thursday and a second delivery on Saturday.
Congo is the epicentre of an mpox outbreak that the World Health Organization declared to be a global public health emergency last month, but efforts to curb the spread of the disease have been hampered by a lack of vaccines.
“We’ll receive the first batch on Sept. 5 and a second one on Sept. 7,” response chief Cris Kacita told Reuters in a message.
