The Democratic Republic of Congo received its first delivery of mpox vaccines. It comes nearly a month after the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Mpox has infected an estimated 18,000 people and killed more than 600 in the DRC alone. William Brangham discussed the outbreak and response with Lawrence Gostin of Georgetown University.
