An alarming surge in mpox cases has hit Africa, with more than 32,000 suspected infections recorded. The continent faces a critical challenge in mobilizing enough vaccine doses to curb the spread.

The number of mpox cases in Africa has surged 177%, and deaths have increased 38.5% compared with the same period a year ago, data from the Africa CDC showed.

Adequate vaccine supplies to Africa to control the outbreak will be essential for preventing broader spread. Another urgent need is to evaluate the efficacy of the mpox vaccine against the new strain.

Africa’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported more than 59,000 mpox cases and 1,164 deaths in 20 countries this year.
