2026年8月27日，全球發起了一項重大行動，旨在建立一個永久性的猴痘疫苗儲備庫。
On August 27, 2026, a significant global effort was launched to establish a permanent mpox vaccine stockpile.
該計畫從9月開始，旨在為各國提供快速且公平的救命疫苗管道。
Starting in September, this initiative aims to provide countries with rapid and equitable access to life-saving vaccines.
此儲備庫由國際協調小組(ICG)管理（其成員包括世界衛生組織WHO和聯合國兒童基金會UNICEF），這象徵著從被動的緊急應對措施轉向永續且長期的健康策略。
Managed by the International Coordinating Group (ICG)—which includes organizations like the WHO and UNICEF—the stockpile represents a shift from reactive emergency measures to a sustainable, long-term health strategy.
此舉直接解決了2022年疫情期間出現的不平等現象，當時低收入國家在爭奪有限供應時，難以與富裕國家抗衡。
This move directly addresses the inequities seen during the 2022 outbreak, when lower-income nations struggled to compete with wealthier countries for limited supplies.
在2022年至2026年間，全球通報了超過19萬例病例，其中非洲地區負擔最為沉重。
Between 2022 and 2026, over 190,000 cases were reported globally, with the African region suffering the highest burden.
該計畫根據公共衛生需求，免費向合乎資格的國家提供疫苗，確保獲取疫苗的管道不再由國家的財政狀況所決定。
By providing vaccines free of charge to eligible nations based on public health need, the initiative ensures that access is no longer determined by a country's financial status.
此外，透過建立一種可預測且基於需求的機制，也為疫苗製造商提供了未來生產的明確訊號。
Furthermore, by creating a predictable demand-based mechanism, it provides vaccine manufacturers with clear signals for future production.
這項指標性的計畫標誌著全球衛生準備工作的轉捩點，確保世界能透過合作而非競爭，更有能力應對未來的疫情。
This landmark initiative marks a turning point in global health preparedness, ensuring that the world is better equipped to manage future outbreaks through cooperation rather than competition.
