The World Health Organization chief said on Friday that mpox vaccines were set to arrive in Democratic Republic of Congo in the next few days to fight a new strain of the virus, APA reports citing Reuters.
"We hope to have the first delivery in the next few days, and then it will build up," Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters at a press conference. Another WHO official said that some 230,000 mpox doses are immediately available to be dispatched.
