WHO suggests 'targeted vaccination' for mpox instead of mass jab

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended "targeted vaccination" in the fight against mpox, instead of mass vaccination in areas where the virus has been detected, arguing that stopping the spread of mpox is easier than dealing with COVID-19.

“It's not recommended for mass vaccination; that's very important. It really needs to be targeted vaccination where the virus is transmitting,” WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told Anadolu in an exclusive interview.
