Currently, countries across the world are responding to the global outbreak of the monkeypox virus. The illness has been endemic to parts of Central and West Africa for years prior. While wealthier regions such as the United States are grappling with vaccine shortages, African countries – which have higher monkeypox fatality rates – have been left out of vaccine distribution. In your essay, draw from class topics such as, but not limited to, Nationalism, Modern Imperialism, Human Rights, and Globalization to explain global health inequity and vaccine disparity during this monkeypox outbreak. Below are articles that may help you as you write your paper. Remember, you are not expected to be a public health expert, but you are expected to understand and apply class concepts.
