The World Health Organization says it has cleared Bavarian Nordic's mpox vaccine, the first such vaccine to be approved by the agency for containing the spread of the disease in badly hit African countries.
European countries, the United States and Japan have already pledged to donate 3.6 million doses of the two main vaccines used against mpox, the WHO said on Friday.
