Gavi has purchased 500,000 mpox vaccines, aiming to meet the high demand of 10 million doses needed to combat the outbreak in Africa.
Dr. Sania Nishtar highlighted Gavi's commitment to transforming vaccines into vaccinations quickly and effectively, urging for funding to support vaccine stockpiling through 2030.
Despite rich countries having significant stockpiles of mpox vaccines, campaigners are urging for quicker delivery and reduced prices to help African nations.
The use of the First Response Fund by Gavi marks a significant step in rapidly providing vaccines after the World Health Organization deemed mpox an emergency.
