    The global monkeypox outbreak has so far led to more than 24,000 cases in more than 80 countries, and the World Health Organization has warned that the chance to contain the disease and prevent it from becoming endemic outside Africa is fast approaching. Vaccines are a potentially critical measure.

    Monkeypox vaccines are already being deployed around the world, and news reports have described a “battle” as countries desperately try to secure some of the limited number of doses available.
