The World Health Organization (WHO) has authorized the Lc16m8 mpox vaccine for emergency use, marking the first vaccine for children. This decision aims to improve access to vaccines in areas experiencing mpox outbreaks, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where cases among children have surged. The vaccine is recommended for individuals aged one year and older and is part of a broader strategy to combat the mpox outbreak, which has affected over 53,000 people in Africa this year.
