On August 27, 2026, a significant global effort was launched to establish a permanent mpox vaccine stockpile.
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。
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。
This move directly addresses the inequities seen during the 2022 outbreak, when lower-income nations struggled to compete with wealthier countries for limited supplies.
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。
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.
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。
Furthermore, by creating a predictable demand-based mechanism, it provides vaccine manufacturers with clear signals for future production.
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。
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.
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。
