The WHO also underscores the importance of building public trust in new vaccines through “effective communication and community engagement” to achieve “high vaccination coverage.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a comprehensive global strategy to halt the transmission of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox. The new plan, unveiled on Monday, focuses, in part, on a “strategic vaccination” campaign aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. The initiative will run from September 2024 to February 2025, supported by a $135 million fund.
WHO’s Strategic Plan
According to the executive summary of the plan dubbed the Global Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SPRP), the global monkeypox outbreak, which began in 2022, has resulted in more than 100,000 confirmed cases in 116 countries. The “rapid spread” of the Clade 1b strain and its mutations, such as Clade 1a and Clade 2, in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and neighboring countries, as well as their detection in Sweden and Thailand, were interpreted as a “growing threat” by the WHO. This led to a declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on August 14, 2024.
