Head of Africa CDC Jean Kaseya urges international community to support rollout of testing and vaccinations
African health officials have appealed to the international community not to impose travel bans on countries dealing with an outbreak of mpox, but instead to support the continent in rolling out testing and vaccinations.
He said there had been talks with the vaccine manufacturer Bavarian Nordic to allow local production, which would help to lower the price. DRC’s health minister, Roger Kamba, said on Monday that 16,700 cases and 570 deaths had been recorded this year.
