Meanwhile, the total number of confirmed Monkeypox cases reached 8 on Tuesday.

Mandaviya has said in the Rajya Sabha that out of a total of 8 cases reported in the country so far, five have a history of traveling abroad.

The Health Minister said studies are still being conducted to find proper vaccination for the disease. Only contact tracing and vaccinating people who were in close contact with a disease carrier are required to be vaccinated and there is no need for a country-wide vaccination for this disease.
