Monkeypox virus Vaccination 

According to the WHO, some countries have issued instructions to vaccinate groups such as health workers, laboratory workers, and rapid response teams, who are most at risk of the disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some studies have found that the smallpox vaccine is up to 85 percent effective in preventing monkeypox.
