deaths -- and a Danish vaccine maker has the only cure.

John,

Mpox: it's a global health emergency with children accounting for 80% of
deaths.

Bavarian Nordic has the only lifesaving vaccine for the Mpox virus, but
it's charging $100 per shot.

Central and West Africa have detected the most Mpox cases so far, but now
it's also been found in Sweden, Australia and Thailand. To stop the virus
spreading around the world vaccines must be made affordable and accessible
in Africa where they're needed the most. Public pressure on Big Pharma
companies worked to make COVID-19 vaccines more widely available. Let's do
it again.

everyone.

Countries in Africa have long been subject to a vaccine apartheid. It
happened with Ebola, COVID-19, and now Mpox. COVID-19 showed us just how
quickly a virus can spread around the world and just how crucial vaccine
accessibility is to protect our communities. 

Last year Denmark's Bavarian Nordic reported its best ever financial
results. This year more than 500 people have already died from Mpox across
the African continent. The Danish pharma company is refusing to share its
vaccine recipe and ingredients so that local companies could help save
lives.

Let’s eradicate Mpox, just like we did with smallpox, by making sure
vaccines are available and affordable for everyone.

need it.
