The Kenya Prisons Service (KPS) has started administering Covid-19 vaccine to its 28,000 prison officers. Commissioner General of prisons Wycliffe Ogalo launched the exercise at the prisons headquarters on Tuesday as he received the vaccine to allay fears that it is harmful. The prisons will vaccinate 8,000 warders in the first phase before receiving more doses to vaccinate the entire workforce. “Today we are grateful to have received from the Ministry of Health, Covid – 19 vaccines to vaccinate KPS personnel countrywide,” Ogalo said. But the prisons boss urged officers not to relent in upholding preventive measures in use.
