DR Congo receives 100,000 mpox vaccine doses amid outbreak

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has received its first 100,000 doses of the MVA-BN mpox vaccine, donated by the European Union, following the WHO's declaration of a global emergency due to mpox outbreaks in 12 African countries. An additional 100,000 doses are expected soon. Authorities estimate a need for three million doses to control the outbreak, with only 380,000 promised by Western partners.
