In recent weeks , Congo has reported about 200 to 300 lab-confirmed mpox cases every week .
That’s down from nearly 400 cases a week in July .
The decline is also apparent in Kamituga , the mining city where the new, more infectious variant of mpox first emerged.
Experts are frustrated by the low number of vaccine doses Congo has received.
Dr. Salim Abdool Karim says mpox outbreaks typically peak and disappear quickly because of how the virus spreads.
This time, he said there are two complicating factors: the virus’ transmission via sex and the continued spillover from infected animals.
“We’re in new territory with mpox this time,” he added. “But we're never going to solve this until we vaccinate most of our people”.
