Description

The monkeypox virus belongs to a family of viruses called orthopox viruses and the drug Tecovirimat is an antiviral designed specifically to treat viral infections of this kind.

Information on contract value is being withheld due to commercial sensitivity under Regulation 50(6)(b) and (c) as the publication of the price may enable competitors to calculate the price per dose. Publication of this information would therefore: (i) commercially prejudice the supplier in its ongoing negotiations with other national governments; (ii) commercially prejudice the contracting authority in its ongoing negotiations with other vendors; and (iii) impact fair competition between vendors.
