Key Findings

First deaths outside African Region recorded in Spain, Brazil, and India.
Monkeypox transmission largely sexual, with other routes like skin-to-skin contact.

WHO Recommendations

Scale up vaccination programs, conduct information campaigns on immunity timing and protective measures.
Provide primary prevention vaccination for high-risk groups, including healthcare workers and those at exposure risk.
Implement post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for close contacts to prevent disease onset.
Prioritize research on vaccines and therapeutics.
Navigate formal controls, international flights.
Ensure accurate reporting while considering data variability across regions.

Renaming Efforts

WHO is gathering alternate names for monkeypox virus through proposed platforms, alongside ongoing processes for virus and clade renaming.

Limitations

Data quality varies by country due to differing reporting practices and testing strategies.
Case and death counts are likely underestimated due to reporting delays and inconsistencies.
