A man enters a vaccination center to receive a dose of the Monkeypox vaccine in Nice, France, on July 27, 2022.LONDON - It is possible to eliminate the monkeypox outbreak in Europe, World Health Organisation officials said on Tuesday , highlighting evidence that case counts are slowing in a handful of countries.
The rollout of Bavarian Nordic's monkeypox vaccine has been affected by limited supply of the shot, which is also approved to prevent smallpox, although regulators are taking steps to stretch out existing stocks. "We do have some pretty good anecdotal evidence that people - particularly men who have sex with men who are in particular risk groups - are much more informed about the disease."
Separately, polio, a deadly disease that used to paralyse tens of thousands of children every year, is spreading in London, New York and Jerusalem for the first time in decades, spurring catch-up vaccination campaigns.
