WHO modifies Covid-19 vaccine recommendations amid rise in Covid cases in India | Oneindia News
The World Health Organization revised its Covid-19 vaccine recommendations amid the new phase of the pandemic and the high population-level immunity due to infection and vaccination.
WHO Declares Mpox Is No Longer , a Public Health Emergency.
On May 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) said its 10-month mpox global health emergency
was coming to an end, Reuters reports. .
The viral disease was first declared a global health emergency in July 2022.
Mpox ultimately spread to
over 100 countries, Reuters reports.
With the public health emergency coming to an end, experts say a transition is necessary for managing long-term mpox health risks. .
For example, rather than utilizing emergency measures, mpox response and preparedness should now be monitored by disease surveillance programs.
Such programs include those for HIV and STIs. .
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said nearly 90% less mpox cases were recorded within the last three months.
The WHO also recently ended its
public health emergency for COVID. .
However, the director-general warned that the diseases should still be taken seriously.
While the emergencies of mpox and COVID-19 are both over, the threat of resurgent waves remains for both. Both viruses continue to circulate and both continue to kill, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, via statement

We have arrived at this moment, thanks to the incredible skill and selfless dedication of health and care workers around the world, , Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's
director-general, via statement.
... the innovation of vaccine researchers and developers, the tough decisions governments have had to make in the face of changing evidence, and the sacrifices that all of us have made, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's
director-general, via statement.
The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID 19 is nothing to worry about, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's
director-general, via statement.
The announcement comes a day after
"the U.N. agency's emergency committee"
held a meeting, CBS News reports.
It's officially been over three years
since the panel first recommended an emergency be declared by the WHO.
America's "public health emergency declaration"
will end on May 11, CBS News reports.
