Show Notes

On July 23, World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus declared the monkeypox outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern” – the highest global alert level for a disease outbreak. Australia’s Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly followed by declaring monkeypox as a “communicable disease incident of national significance.”

We’re joined by Dr Paul Griffin, Infectious Diseases Physician and Microbiologist, University of Queensland, who takes us through who’s at risk and why.

In this episode of The Briefing, where are we at with monkeypox in Australia? Why should we get the vaccine? Who should get it?
