A total of 18 individuals have now tested positive for the monkeypox virus since August 2024—five of which have already recovered and were released from isolation, the Department of Health said Monday. Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said that three new cases—all of whom are male—came from Calabarzon and Metro Manila. This brought the total number of mpox cases in the country since July 2022 to 27—-thirteen of which remain active.
The DOH chief believes that mpox cases in the country can still be controlled pending the arrival of these vaccine doses. “Nakikita ninyo, napakadaling i-control ng mpox. I don't need a vaccine to control it. ‘Yung good public health, ‘yung tinatawag nating prevention, detection, isolation, nape-prevent ‘yung pagkalat niya,” Herbosa said. “In fact ‘yung bakuna na ito, makakatulong lang ito sa mga taong high risk mamatay.
