Brazil recorded its first Mpox-related death this year in Rio de Janeiro, while the country has more than 1,000 confirmed cases. Health authorities are seeing a rise in infections, particularly in Rio and São Paulo, but believe the situation does not constitute an epidemic outbreak comparable to that of 2022. The government has nevertheless strengthened surveillance and ordered an additional 25,000 doses of vaccine.
