The Covid-19 vaccine will be available to those who wish to receive it, the Health ministry has said, ruling out a mandatory vaccination drive. CS Mutahi Kagwe on Friday further noted that the ministry has already ordered for the Oxford vaccines, with protocols already issued on who will be the first to receive the vaccine. The ministry is also in negotiations with other vaccine manufacturing companies such as Pfizer to ensure the country does not rely on one vaccine type alone. “We are looking at all the vaccines that have been approved by the World Health Organisation. The ideal thing to do is to use several so that we can increase the chances of efficacy,” Kagwe said.
