Acting Health Director-General Patrick Amoth was the first Kenyan to take the vaccine Jab on Friday as the government officially launched the Covid-19 vaccination program. First in line are the 400,000 health care workers as well as other essential service providers. On Thursday, President Uhuru Kenyatta officially flagged off the countrywide distribution of the vaccine at National vaccine stalls in Kitengela. Health CS Mutahi Kagwe said on Tuesday that once frontline workers are done with, those with comorbidity will be considered before the vaccination process is finally rolled out to the general population. The CS maintained that the vaccination process will be strictly voluntary.
