Abstract
Given the potential spread of monkeypox (MPX) during the FIFA world cup 2022 in Qatar, appropriate precautions should be taken for early containment. Ring vaccination is an appropriate measure in this regard due to its ability not only to break the MPX transmission chain but also to prevent its progression.
