AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoMpox Response Under Strain: Madagascar health authorities are being forced to “fractionally dose” mpox vaccines—splitting doses into fifths—to stretch limited supplies as the outbreak accelerates, with at least 4,000 cases reported and about one million people at risk from clade 1b; high-risk groups include sex workers, young children, people living with HIV/AIDS, and medical workers. Regional Health & Preparedness: The wider mpox conversation also includes calls for stronger long-term preparedness and next-generation vaccine options as clades evolve. Food Safety Standards: The Codex Alimentarius Commission’s 49th session advanced new and revised food hygiene and labelling texts, including guidance for allergen labelling in emergencies and updates on contaminants and additives. Health-Adjacent Community Care: A local “Self Care Fest” promoted affordable services like haircuts, eye care, nails, yoga, and health-related offerings—more wellness access than clinical care.
