Japan pledged in September to donate doses from its national stockpile of LC16m8 vaccines, first developed by local firm KM Biologics for smallpox and effective against mpox, but the donation was held up by a legal hurdle. The doses’ arrival will boost hopes of curbing the outbreak, which the World Health Organization has declared a global public health emergency.
The vaccine from Japan will be used on children aged zero to five, Kaseya said. It is administered using a bifurcated needle, a technique that involves pricking the skin 15 times to deliver the vaccine.
