Start your review of Mpox and the Skin: Understanding the 2022 Outbreak - What You Need to Know

  • Dr. Eddie Nkonjela
    Quite educative especially on the clade 1 and clade 2. Further on the modes of transmission which further call for social distancing as well as pest control. Not forgetting emphasis on travel to affected nations with caution in as much as vaccines are available. However more information is needed regarding access to the medication (tpox) in southern african countries. All in all a great and informative course.
