To control the growing threat of the Mpox virus, the Access and Allocation Mechanism (AAM) for Mpox has allocated 899,000 vaccine doses to Nigeria and eight other African countries with high infection rates.
This was disclosed in a joint statement by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday.
AAM is a framework managed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) which was created to ensure equitable access to vaccines, treatments, and other health resources during public health emergencies, particularly for countries with the greatest need.
