Mpox has been declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization in response to a new, potentially deadlier strain of the virus circulating in Africa.
On Thursday, the first case of this new variant was detected outside the continent, in Sweden. So what does this mean for vaccinations? Do they still work against the new variant? And do you need a booster? Newsweek spoke to experts to find out.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, gained recognition during the global outbreak in 2022, affecting the U.S., Europe, Australia and many other countries. The virus comes in two "flavors"—clade I and clade II—and spreads through close contact.
The previous outbreak in the U.S. and Europe was driven by the clade II form of the virus and was mostly spread through sexual and intimate contact, with men who have sex with men being at the highest risk of infection. However, the current surge in Africa is being driven by a new variant of the clade I virus, called clade Ib, that is thought to cause more severe disease than previous variants.
Since the beginning of 2023, more than 22,000 cases of mpox are believed to have occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with more than 1,200 deaths. This has likely been driven by the clade Ib variant, which has also spread to neighboring Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and now Sweden.
"The clade 1b case in Sweden is a warning call for public health authorities to be vigilant and implement robust surveillance and contact-tracing strategies to detect possible new cases early on," said Jonas Albarnaz, a research fellow specializing in pox viruses at the U.K.'s Pirbright Institute, which specializes in infectious disease research.

🚫💉🐂💩
Some snowflake at News-weak named Pandora is worried about the spread of monkeypox.
Time for more masks, vaccines, and booster jabs.
The election-year plandemic has arrived!
Enough of the moonkeypox threads, already 😜
You can never sleep on what they are doing. If you ignore it, doesn’t mean they will stop.
After reading the article is hard to tell how it’s transmitted in one of the cases. The other is by engaging in anal sex. I suspect, since the article didn’t say, both cases are transmitted via sexual activity. So, unless you’re in that category you won’t need to take any action.
Funny how there’s a M-pox spike one month after pride month. Hmmm... if only we could make a connection...
And the clade I? Hmm...doesn't say...amazing...
The newest medicinal thuggery
Is just like the last in skullduggery.
You must take a jab
Of the stuff from their lab
If you're going to indulge in more buggery.
The science is clear! - W
When it comes to the va666ine and b666sters, I certainly trust W, Bill and Barack!!

I would bet more money than I have that the WEF will do very little or nothing to contain it to Africa.
It would be racist to prevent flights from Africa into Miami or NY.
LOL ...
NO!
The Oh Noes guys!!
Love it.
is there any evidence that the Mpox “VAX” actually works, or does anything helpful at all ?
if anyone has a link to info on this I would appreciate it.
that said, I think my risk is about .000000001% of ever getting mpox in the first place
