Statement of the WHO Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) on the safety of the mpox vaccines for use in high-risk groups
In July 2022, WHO Director-General declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in response to a multi-country outbreak of mpox that was rapidly spreading, mainly through sexual contact, in countries where it had not previously been detected. This PHEIC was lifted in May 2023 following a sustained global decline in cases. The emergence of the new Clade Ib and a resurgence of mpox cases in the African region led to the WHO declaration of a PHEIC again on 14 August 2024. The current outbreak in affected African countries also includes other high-risk groups such as pregnant women and children under the age of 18 years, including infants.
