A 17-day-old infant is among Kenya s latest Covid cases.
This comes as the report from the Health ministry on the state of Covid-19 in Kenya stated that more men are taking the vaccine, compared to women.
The statement noted that as of yesterday, 213,971 men (57 per cent) had been vaccinated, against 164,392 women (43 per cent).
Kenyans who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 have reported mild to moderate side effects, four weeks into the countrywide vaccination exercise.
The side effects range from pain at the injection site, hunger, headache, fever and mild aches, but medics are warning people against trying any treatment as it might reduce the jab’s efficacy.
Don t treat side effects of Covid jab, say experts

Kenyans who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 have reported mild to moderate side effects, four weeks into the countrywide vaccination exercise.
The side effects range from pain at the injection site, hunger, headache, fever and mild aches, but medics are warning people against trying any treatment as it might reduce the jab’s efficacy.
Kenyans have reported using anti-inflammatory drugs and antihistamine to cope with the side effects.
However, Dr Geoffrey Kulabusia, an immunologist and lecturer at Egerton University, advises that the vaccinated brave the side effects unless they become severe.
