#mpox vaccine

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada will provide $1 million to help stem the spread of mpox in Africa as her government assembles a long-delayed plan for how to engage with the continent. The funding will go to the World Health Organization as it tries to contain the the virus formerly known as monkeypox, which has been spreading rapidly across Africa. Joly is visiting a vaccination co-ordination centre in Ivory Coast ahead of a visit to South Africa for two days starting Wednesday. The visit to the West African nation is aimed at exploring shared counterterrorism priorities and affirming Canada's ties with both French-speaking countries.

Asia tackles new monkeypox strain escalation

Asian countries from China to Pakistan have stepped up surveillance of a mutated monkeypox virus that is spreading outside Central Africa, where the World Health Organisation declared a public health emergency this month.

A case in Sweden last week underlines the international threat posed by the so-called 1B strain, which has reportedly killed more than 500 people, mostly children, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Across Asia, travellers arriving from countries affected by the virus are being asked to report symptoms and hospitals are stepping up surveillance for the disease.

Unlike the smallpox-causing virus, which spread worldwide in 2022, the new strain is more dangerous, with a mortality rate of more than 3 per cent. It is also possible that infected people can transmit the virus days before symptoms appear, making it more difficult to control the disease by identifying and isolating cases.

China is asking incoming travellers from affected countries and regions, those who have been in contact with smallpox patients, and those experiencing symptoms to report to customs officials upon entering the country, where they may be required to undergo testing, the statement said.

Health authorities in India have ordered increased vigilance at international airports and ports for passengers with smallpox symptoms, and have designated hospitals and laboratories to deal with potential patients, the Economic Times reported. Indonesia and Malaysia have also taken similar measures.

While smallpox is back in the spotlight, health officials are reporting cases probably caused by the milder strain 2b. A case of infection with strain 2b was confirmed in Pakistan on 13 August. The Philippine Department of Health said it had identified the first case of smallpox in the country since December in a 33-year-old man who had not travelled recently. The strain that caused the disease is not yet known.

A 2022 UK study found that more than half of mpox cases were spread by infected people who had not yet developed symptoms. Emerging evidence suggests that people incubating the disease can transmit the smallpox virus for up to four days before symptoms appear.

Luxembourg’s health minister said last Friday that the risk of the Luxembourg population contracting smallpox is “low.”

WHO recommends special measures to control monkeypox outbreak

The World Health Organisation is recommending special measures to control the outbreak of mpox, also known as monkeypox, in five African countries – the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.

According to WHO recommendations, states should strengthen national health emergency response mechanisms, improve coordination of mpox control efforts, improve laboratory diagnosis of the disease, and identify contacts of mpox-infected people with others. In addition, WHO is calling for increased border surveillance to identify those who have become ill, vaccination and better public awareness of the disease and control measures.

The African Union Health Service declared a public health emergency on the continent due to the spread of monkeypox on 13 August. The disease has been detected in 17 African countries, totalling more than 38,000 infections and more than 1,400 deaths. The epicentre of the outbreak has been the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where 92% of African cases have been reported.

Global Alliance procures half a million mpox vaccines for Africa

A batch of 500,000 mpox vaccines has been purchased by the Gavi Vaccine Alliance for delivery to African countries this year, according to The Guardian.

Presumably, 10 million vaccines are needed to meet demand, but the Democratic Republic of the Congo received only 100,000 vaccines earlier this month. The new Clade 1b strain killed more than 700 people and infected about 22,000.

Neighbouring countries Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya also reported sporadic cases. Gavi’s head, Dr Sania Nishtar, stated:

We are committed to working with affected governments and our partners to turn these vaccines into vaccinations as quickly and effectively as possible and, over time, to build a global vaccine stockpile if sufficient funding is secured for Gavi’s work through 2030.

Gavi claimed it was the first time it had used the First Response Fund, set up in June to procure vaccines in public health emergencies. The alliance added that it would spend up to $50 million, shortly after the World Health Organisation declared mpox a public health emergency in mid-August.

Reuters reported that rich countries, such as Japan, the United States, and Canada, stockpiled millions of mpox vaccine doses. However, only a few pledged to help stop the outbreak in Africa.

Manufacturer Bavarian Nordic praised the deal, arguing that it would significantly increase the amount of vaccine available on the African continent.

"In declaring the PHEIC, Dr Tedros said, "The emergence of a new clade of mpox, its rapid spread in eastern DRC, and the reporting of cases in several neighbouring countries are very worrying. On top of outbreaks of other mpox clades in DRC and other countries in Africa, it’s clear that a coordinated international response is needed to stop these outbreaks and save lives.”

"WHO Regional Director for Africa Dr Matshidiso Moeti said, “Significant efforts are already underway in close collaboration with communities and governments, with our country teams working on the frontlines to help reinforce measures to curb mpox. With the growing spread of the virus, we’re scaling up further through coordinated international action to support countries bring the outbreaks to an end.”

They do have 2 vaccines that are being recommended to contain outbreaks, but that will take some time to distribute. I just hope it gets to as many people as possible. The WHO is monitoring cases worldwide, and I hope people remain vigilant/understand the seriousness of this strain because this, on top of the avian/bird flu, reaching a pandemic level... this would be beyond horrific since covid isn't over either.

Here is a little more information about how it spreads and signs/symptoms of mpox:
