In the upcoming days, you may hear WHO declare a new Public Health Emergency of International Concern
In the upcoming weeks, you might hear about a new variant of MPox in the US
Obviously hope that it doesn't happen but here's a bit of an explainer about Clade I Mpox
The @WHO is going to convene its Emergency Committee to decide whether the latest outbreak of MPox is a public health emergency of international concern
This is important
And I'm getting asked what this means
So here's a quick summary
Two summers ago, we got hit by MPox. It was Clade 2
We managed it with vaccines, testing and treatments and things got under control quickly
That's why you don't hear much about it any more (although we continue to see a few cases pop up here and there)
But this is a new outbreak -- of a different Clade (think variant) of Mpox
Clade 1
What do we know about Clade I?
All the data we have suggests it is more severe with a higher fatality rate
Clade I had largely only been seen in the DRC
Now it has spread to Kenya, Uganda, and likely Burundi and Rwanda
And the concern is that it will spread across the African continent and eventually around the world
Thus @DrTedros calling his Emergency Committee
What should we be doing to prepare?
The evidence suggests that our vaccine, the Jynneos vaccine, should work against Clade 1 -- certainly to prevent severe disease
And TPoxx -- the treatment -- should help people who are immunocompromised
What we need to focus on is testing -- making sure we have tests for Clade 1 specifically
Both to identify it quickly and to prevent its further spread
Last time, Clade 2 spread almost exclusively among men who have sex with men. I suspect that may be the pattern again
So making sure high risk men are up to date on their vaccines is critical
And building up our testing capability, ideally point of care tests, will be key as well
We know how to manage MPox
We did it before
And if we do these things, we can manage our way through Clade 1 Mpox
And ensure we keep the suffering and serious illness to a minimum
