The World Health Organisation does not believe the outbreak of monkeypox outside of Africa requires mass vaccinations as measures like good hygiene and safe sexual behaviour will help control its spread, a senior official said on Monday.

Public health authorities in Europe and North America are investigating over 100 suspected and confirmed cases of the viral infection in the worst outbreak of the virus outside of Africa, where it is endemic.Public health authorities in Europe and North America are investigating over 100 suspected and confirmed cases of the viral infection in the worst outbreak of the virus outside of Africa, where it is endemic.

His comments came as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was in the process of releasing some Jynneos vaccine doses for use in monkeypox cases. The primary measures to control the outbreak are contact tracing and isolation, he said, noting that it is not a virus that spreads very easily nor has it so far caused serious disease.It is unclear what is driving the outbreak, with scientists trying to understand the origin of the cases and whether anything about the virus has changed.

Fck WHO

Said the same thing about Covid, now we're on the 5th wave . Take monkey pox more seriously,please!

Is it by sex now These devils must respect us.

Wemame fools will believe this nonsense

If it was inside Africa,it was going to require mass vaccination,am I wrong?

Lona lenyela batho straight sies

So Africans will require mass vaccination because they lack good hygiene and babhebhana nje kwasani?🤔🤣😂😂🤣 I'd rather be labeled an anti vaxxer shem.

What is the WHO really saying in football terms?

How because scientists like BillGates already invented and ready to produce vaccine for that monkey pox,

Wtf 🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️? Safe what?

Meaning if it was the other way round, mass vaccination would be required due to poor hygiene and open sexual behaviour? Loud of BULLSHIT😳

Seyingena nge sex nayo?

Could have told you that for free. It's been a disease since 1958.🤪😉🤣🤣

CyrilRamaphosa do you see what your international overloads think of africans. And these are the people you decided to get into bed with? Lol better run for presidency for ever because as soon as you step away, your days will be numbers🤞🏾

Why mention Africa?Mention the European countries. You guys are so racist in your reporting. Bought and paid no good journalists

Wait till somebody thinks of making profit!

Safe sexual behaviour? But I heard one can get infected through skin to skin contact not just sex. 🤔 Anyways we don't care, they keep bringing these viruses to try and control us, we will not submit and we will not vaccinate and we will also refuse lockdowns.

What is this?

Eyi ngoba you really can write nonsense.
