Reports indicate a reduction in mpox cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo as vaccination efforts begin to take effect. The World Health Organization noted a plateau in new infections, though experts caution that while the situation has improved, it is premature to declare the outbreak over. Health workers highlight that children disproportionately suffer from the disease, with vaccination efforts yet to fully address this demographic. Despite dwindling patient numbers, there remains an urgent need to keep health interventions strong as the virus continues to pose risks.
