🌎 During an August special session of our Directing Council, Member States requested support in obtaining access to the #monkeypox vaccine. @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 Thus far, most confirmed cases are among men who have sex with men.
Although at least 145 cases have been reported in women and 54 cases among people under the age of 18. @DirOPSPAHO #monkeypox
🌎 As of September 6th, over 30,000 #monkeypox cases have been reported in the Americas, with most cases concentrated in the United States, Brazil, Peru, and Canada. @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 Now, I want to focus on #monkeypox, since the Americas have once again become the epicenter of a global disease outbreak. @DirOPSPAHO

🌎 This is important, but 🔟 countries and territories in our region have yet to fully vaccinate even 40% of their populations. @DirOPSPAHO #COVID19
🌎 Member States must reach their zero-dose populations.
Today, most of the vaccines delivered in the Americas are boosters 🩹 for people who have already been immunized. @DirOPSPAHO #COVID19
🌎 Just last week, we had 4,954 reported deaths in the Americas.
We must not be complacent, because this virus 🦠 is still circulating, still evolving, and new variants can still emerge. @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 Over the last several weeks, #COVID19 cases, hospitalizations 🏥 and deaths have decreased across the Americas.
Despite these trends, hundreds of people are still dying every day from COVID-19 across our region. @DirOPSPAHO
