The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) says it no longer expects to receive its first delivery of mpox vaccines this week as global health authorities say the spread of the disease can still be contained. Asked whether the DRC would begin receiving the doses this week, Cris Kacita, the head of the country’s response team, told the Reuters news agency on Monday: “No. There are still several processes to follow.”
