Nigerian authorities have announced that they have received the first batch of vaccine against the mpox virus that is wreaking havoc on the continent.
The country began the process to secure the vaccines well before it was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this month.
Africa has been hit hardest by the recent rapid spread of mpox – and there has been calls for a speedier response by international agencies to such emergencies.
The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 10 million doses are needed across the continent, with DR Congo being the most in need.
