KINSHASA, Congo -- A vaccination campaign against mpox in Congo will begin Oct. 2, authorities said Saturday, with workers focusing on the three most affected provinces first.

Adults in Equateur, South Kivu and Sankuru provinces will be vaccinated first, Cris Kacita Osako, coordinator of Congo’s Monkeypox Response Committee, told The Associated Press.

Earlier this week, the first batch of mpox vaccines arrived in the capital of Congo, the center of the outbreak.

Another 100,000 were delivered on Saturday.
