The first 100,000 doses of the MVA-BN mpox vaccine arrived in Kinshasa, Congo, on September 5, donated by the EU's HERA agency. An additional 100,000 doses are expected soon. Congo needs 3 million doses to combat mpox, with over 22,800 cases and 622 deaths reported in Africa. The vaccination campaign's start date remains unclear, as UNICEF will oversee it in affected provinces.
