Health officials say jabs needed to bolster UK’s resilience after WHO declares clade Ib outbreak a global emergency
The UK has ordered more than 150,000 doses of vaccine against mpox to bolster its preparedness after the World Health Organization declared a surge in cases in Africa to be a global emergency.
No cases of clade Ib mpox, the new strain that has spread rapidly in Africa after an initial outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have yet been detected in the UK.
