    The WHO has declared the monkeypox outbreak a global health emergency. The WHO is working with countries to coordinate the response to the outbreak and to ensure that vaccines and treatments are available to those who need them.
    The WHO recommends that the following people be vaccinated against monkeypox:
    People who have been exposed to the monkeypox virus

    People with HIV/AIDS

    If you think you may have monkeypox, it is important to see a doctor right away. Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease and most people recover within 2 to 4 weeks. However, some people may develop serious complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis.
    There is no specific treatment for monkeypox, but there are vaccines and antiviral medications that can be used to prevent and treat the disease.
