Cris Kacita, head of DRC's response team, confirmed that "No, we will not receive the first delivery of mpox vaccines this week. There are still several processes to follow." His statement emphasizes the delays caused by required procedures between the Congolese pharmaceutical regulatory body and Bavarian Nordic, highlighting the complexities of vaccine delivery amidst an urgent health crisis.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, stated, "The mpox outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighboring countries can be controlled, and can be stopped." He provided reassurance that effective measures could still be implemented, emphasizing the need for a coordinated response to manage and mitigate the spread of the disease effectively.
