Health workers have expressed mixed feelings towards the uptake of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine as Kenya starts a vaccination programme.
About one million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine are expected into the country today.
The first batch of 495,000 doses will be distributed to regional depots, Level VI hospitals and Military Level IV hospitals. The second batch will contain 525,000 doses.
Goody Gor, an official of Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), said she is reluctant to receive the vaccine, over claims that its efficacy has not been determined.

The recent requirement by the ministry of education for the 2021 teachers training application has drawn criticism from education stakeholders.
Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General Wilson Sossion said the requirement for a minimum of C plain in all KCSE subjects required to be trained as a primary school teacher will lock out thousands of form four leavers in the country. There is no need to set a minimum grade for cluster subjects as these leaves out many students who scored an overall minimum grade of C plain in their KCSE, Sossion said.
