This claim is true. According to the World health organization's own website, Mpox has been a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) since 2022, but in May of 2023, the PHEIC was declared over due to a decline in global cases. Recently Last year there was around 15 600 cases and 537 deaths. Due to this, in August of 2024, the PHEIC was reinstated. As a result, the WHO is working with many countries in central and west Africa like the Dominican Republic of the Congo and Nigeria to distribute vaccines. Though this might be declared as a PHEIC, according to the University of California San Francisco, people in the west shouldn't be worried about a global pandemic, as mpox already has a vaccine developed, as well as being transmitted by sexual activity, not through the air like COVID is. While Monkeypox is a dangerous disease, with helps of vaccines, it should be stomped soon and shouldn't be something for people not in Africa to worry about.
