Minsa announced that the first batch of monkeypox vaccine, consisting of 5600 doses of the antigen, will arrive in Peru this Wednesday, October 19.
These first vaccines are part of 9,800 doses of the virus vaccine purchased by the government, with a second shipment of 4,200 doses scheduled for November 16 next year.
The institution has indicated that this important batch of vaccines will be applied as a first phase to previously identified vulnerable populations that are at greater risk of severe development of the simian virus.

WHO asks not to relax vigilance
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed a few weeks ago that the numbers of new monkeypox cases at the global level continue to decline, although he warned that “this is not the time to relax or let down our guard.
“Affected countries and communities must continue to work, and health workers continue to need support in their preparation for the diagnosis and treatment of new cases, as well as the prevention of infections,” Tedros said.
The countries with the most cases since the start of the outbreak are the United States (over 21,000), Spain (6,900) and Brazil (6,000).
