猴痘变异新毒株卷土重来，疫苗紧缺！世卫拉响警报（讲解版）| E0904

▍原文

None of the African countries affected by the outbreak of a new variant of mpox have received any of the promised vaccine, pushing back a rollout planned for last week.

The WHO declared a public health emergency in mid-August in response to the spread of the new variant.

The WHO chief said that the first doses should arrive "within days" but similar statements were made regarding donated shots from the US, which did not materialise on time.
