The Democratic Republic of the Congo will be able to expand vaccination against mpox next week. Then, the first doses of a vaccine will arrive in the country, according to health authorities.

The country has reported more than 15,600 cases, which is 96 percent of all known cases in the world. Moreover, the dark figure is believed to be large.

Health Minister Roger Kamba says that the Democratic Republic of the Congo needs at least three million doses, but it is unclear how many will arrive in the first stage.
