Ouma said during a weekly briefing by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday: > Our position is that vaccination is an important tool and needs to start here in Africa. > Here… the burden is larger, the risk higher and the geographical spread is also broader. *Ouma said African countries that have reported confirmed cases are:* > a). Cameroon, > b). the Central African Republic, > c). Congo Republic, > d). the Democratic Repubic of Congo, > e). Nigeria, > f). Morocco, > g). Ghana, > h). Liberia and > i). Sierra Leone, But Europe remains the epicentre of the global monkeypox outbreak. Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, told a news conference on Wednesday: > Europe remains the epicentre of this escalating outbreak, with 25 countries reporting more than 1,500 cases, or 85 percent of the global total. Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation (WHO) is in the process of procuring thousands of monkeypox tests for Africa but is not recommending mass vaccination at this stage, its Africa Director Matshidiso Moeti has said. *More: Pindula News is best enjoyed via the App. Download it here* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
