WHO Encourages Countries Infested With M Pox To Share Vaccines

WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has encouraged countries affected by Mpox to fight the virus together

“Identification of the first Mpox clade 1b infection in Sweden underscores the need for affected countries to tackle the virus together,” he said.

Through a tweet on X tedros encouraged the countries to share data and fight the disease with all it takes.

“All countries should enhance surveillance, share data, and work to better understand the transmission,” he said

“Share tools like vaccines and apply lessons learned from prior public health emergencies of international concern in addressing the current outbreak.”

So far Kenya has registered one case of Mpox with the government racing to ensure that the disease is contained. 

However, experts believe more sick people have not been tested.

The government has also increased surveillance in the borders to ensure that it does not spread.
