"The DOH has signified intent to the World Health Organization (WHO), that once global strategy shifts and distribution of (smallpox) vaccine starts, the Philippines will raise its hand to show that we are ready (to accept it)," Health Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo said yesterday.
"Mpox is a relative of smallpox and based on scientific findings, smallpox vaccines can provide crossprotection against mpox," he noted.
There is no supply of the vaccine yet in the country as the bulk of it is being sent to African countries, Domingo said.
Once the vaccine is available, cold chain and supply chain facilities used during the COVID-19 pandemic can be used for storage of the smallpox vaccine, he said.
Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa earlier said that mpox is treated with supportive care.
