Kenya To Get Covid-19 Vaccine By February – Ministry Of Health

Kenyans should expect to receive the Covid-19 vaccine by February, according to Health PS Susan Mochache.

Mochache explained that in addition to the ongoing trials, the government had talks with other countries about how to access the vaccines once they are ready for distribution.

She added that a vaccine was being tested by local researchers in collaboration with international experts.

“We are moving on well with the testing of our own vaccination tests and soon, before the end of February, we shall have launched the jab. We are moving on with the conversation and we are on the right path in drawing up a road map on the administration of the vaccine once it is launched,” PS Mochache stated.

Kenya is one of 192 countries seeking a vaccine under the Covax program by the World Health Organization.

The country has already started clinical trials through the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri).
