“…Monkeypox is considered a viral re-emerging zoonotic disease. This threat was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, after meetings of the Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations, by the World Health Organization, on 23 July 2022 [1,2]. Up to 25 October 2022, there have been reported 75,885 confirmed cases, 74,994 in more than 101 countries not previously reporting monkeypox [3][4][5][6].…”

Vaccination it is considered a vital strategy in order to mitigate monkeypox by protecting from severe disease and helping in reduction of hospitalisations. In this sense, this study aims to estimate the global prevalence of vaccination acceptance against monkeypox. We conducted a systematic review with a comprehensive search strategy for the following databases: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. A random-effect model meta-analysis was carried out using observational studies assessing the intention of vaccines against monkeypox from multiple continents. The quality assessment was developed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale adapted for cross-sectional studies. In addition, a subgroup analysis by study location and population and a sensitivity analysis was developed.Eleven cross-sectional studies were included. A total of 8045 participants were included. The pooled prevalence of monkeypox vaccination acceptance in all participants was 56.0% (95%CI: 42.0–70.0%). In the subgroup analysis of monkeypox vaccine acceptance according to continents, the prevalence of vaccine acceptance was 50.0% (95%CI: 24.0–76.0%) in Asian countries and 70.0% (95%CI: 55.0–84.0%) in European countries. The prevalence of vaccine acceptance was 43.0% (95%CI: 35.0–50.0%) in the general population, 63.0% (95%CI: 42.0–70.0%) in healthcare workers, and 84.0% (95%CI: 83.0–86.0%) in the LGBTI community. Despite the high prevalence of monkeypox vaccination acceptance in the LGBTI community found in our study, vaccination acceptance from healthcare workers and the general population are lower. Governments could use these results for planning, developing or promoting vaccination strategies and public health policies focused on these populations.

“…A recent multi‐country outbreak began in May 2022. Most patients were located outside countries formerly defined as endemic regions for mpox, which urged the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak a global health emergency of international concern 7 . As of 24 February 2023, 85,922 mpox cases in 110 countries have been announced, with total deaths of 96 only across 17 countries (Figure 1) (http://www.cdc.gov).…”

Mpox (previously known as monkeypox) continues to raise concerns since many cases are still being recorded globally. Various reports have shown changing epidemiology of the disease, together with different atypical clinical characteristics of affected patients. The condition has reportedly been self-limited since most patients do not usually require hospitalisation. However, recent reports showed that some patients might suffer from related complications and require hospitalisation.Different systems were reportedly affected, including cardiac, neurological, respiratory, and renal events. In the present literature review, we aim to review these complications, discuss their potential mechanisms, and provide insight into the currently recommended diagnostic and management practices.

“…This compilation of research papers makes it abundantly evident that the conversation on public health emergencies needs to go beyond the scope of just a medical emergency to include both mental health and community well-being in its entirety ( 5 ). Leveraging interdisciplinary insights and forming synergistic collaborations that bridge the gap between clinical practice and mental health advocacy becomes crucial as we negotiate the complexity of this rapidly evolving area.…”
