Will we get vaccinated against smallpox again?
The WHO currently considers the public health risk of this outbreak to be moderate. After all, it is the first time that many cases of this infection have been reported simultaneously in endemic and non-endemic countries from very different geographical areas (28 countries)
Until recently, monkeypox or monkeypox was a viral disease that only occurred in rural areas of Central and West Africa, about which we western countries knew little. The situation changed completely on May 14, when the United Kingdom's National Health Security Agency reported two cases with no history of recent travel or contact with an imported case. Since then it has become an infection that everyone talks about.
