• The latest epidemiological data suggests the outbreak is heading towards an end in the European Region, and slowing down in the Region of the Americas where human-to-human transmission occurs.
• In the African region where the infection also occurs through contact with infected animals, the epidemic curve shows more sustained transmission, reflecting mixed patterns of human-to-human transmission through direct or sexual contact as well as outbreaks due to zoonotic spillover events.
• In November 2022, a vaccine called OrthopoxVac was licensed in the Russian Federation for immunization against smallpox, mpox and other orthopoxviruses according to the rules for registration of medicines of the Eurasian Economic Union.
