Kenyans might have to wait for about a year to get the much-awaited Covid-19 vaccine.
According to a draft Ministry of Health vaccination rollout plan, the first group will be vaccinated in the third quarter of the next financial year, that is from January 2022.
According to the report that is yet to be made public, the ministry will take “all hands on deck approach” to vaccinate as many people as possible.
But there has been contradicting information on the vaccine rollout plan, with the Health ministry’s Director-General, Patrick Amoth, saying the doses are expected to arrive in Kenya by the end of this month.

Kuala Lumpur: Unemployment among heads of low-income urban families in Kuala Lumpur low-cost flat has doubled during the last year’s Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), said United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef).
Unicef in a statement Monday said the survey by Unicef and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) undertaken in December last year, found that the socio-economic conditions for around half of the households surveyed continue to deteriorate.
