OPINION
I had the chance to be vaccinated against coronavirus in mid-March when Kiambu Governor James Nyoro also got the jab, but I was not. I was at the county headquarters when the governor and his staff left for the vaccination at nearby Kiambu level five hospital.
I regretted not joining them that night, but as President Uhuru Kenyatta said while launching the drive, I was not ready or willing to be vaccinated. Many other Kenyans held a wait-and-see attitude and vaccination centres were virtually empty as Ministry of Health officials urged them to take the jab. By the time I made up my mind, most people appeared to have also realised the vaccine was good for them and the rush was on. People travelled far in search of the life-saving vaccine.
