Africa: Third Meeting of the International Health Regulations (2005) Emergency Committee Regarding the Upsurge of Mpox 2024: [WHO] The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) is hereby transmitting the report of the third meeting of the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Emergency Committee (Committee) regarding the upsurge of mpox 2024, held on Tuesday, 25 February 2025, from… newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJbD #Mpox #WHO #HealthRegulations #EmergencyCommittee #PublicHealth

I got the first dose of the today. I'll get the other one in a month. My county's department is offering it.

I felt like I should get it because I'm going to Ghana soon. As far as I know, mpox isn't widespread there now, but it is in other West African countries and could potentially reach Ghana by the time I go.

Side effects weren't bad, I just slept a lot today. It certainly beats having mpox (or smallpox, which it also protects against).
