WHO declares rapidly spreading monkeypox outbreak a global health emergency
Australian medical experts urge quick, coordinated response on monkeypox vaccine
Although the declaration does not impose requirements on national governments, it serves as an urgent call for action. The WHO can only issue guidance and recommendations to its member states, not mandates. Member states are required to report events that pose a threat to global health.
Medical experts say the government should quickly coordinate monkeypox vaccines in Australia, after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the virus a global emergency on Sunday.
They said that countries must learn from the mistakes made during the COVID-19 pandemic in organising the swift availability of vaccines.
This is just my opinion.
