The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Monkeypox is now a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on Saturday (23rd July 2022), prompting an immediate response by many countries around the world. There have been no cases recorded so far in Trinidad and Tobago. Following the declaration by WHO on Saturday, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh assured that T&T is prepared to deal with the Monkeypox virus. The Minister noted there is no need for any roll-back of public health measures at this time. However, the Minister lamented on the challenges being faced by the Government in procuring Monkeypox vaccines, noting that many countries are stockpiling them beyond their needs. He said this is the same problem T&T initially faced with COVID-19 vaccines. T&T is in Group 1 for Monkeypox, which means that this country does not have a history of the virus, had no cases for twenty-one (21) days, and must comply with nine (9) action items, of which Minister Deyalsingh said the majority have already been fully met. This includes the training of healthcare workers, assigning facilities and public education. [Source: TTT Live Online]
