The European Union is worried. Monkeypox is progressing with the number of cases doubling. The European Commission has therefore decided to buy more vaccines: 54,000 additional doses are due to arrive very soon.

In New York, in the United States, queues for vaccination continue to grow. Rather young men and all homosexuals. A particularly affected community that presented itself in front of the gates of the main vaccination centers in the city. Here, 300 cases have been diagnosed. As a result, the 9,200 appointments were assigned on the Internet in just seven minutes. An offer still too small which prevents the population from being vaccinated on a massive scale at a time when the bar of 10 million cases in the world has just been crossed.

Europe is the region of the world most affected by monkeypox with more than 7,000 cases, including 912 recorded in France. For its part, the emergency committee of the World Health Organization decided to meet on Thursday, July 21, to determine the means of curbing the outbreak of cases.
