Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o has urged frontline workers in the county to take Covid-19 vaccine. Nyong’o, who took the jab at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital on Thursday, said the vaccine is safe. County Health executive Boaz Nyunya said frontline workers in public, private and faith- based hospitals will be covered in the first phase. Residents in Kisumu have been lax in adhering to Health ministry containment measures especially in public areas such as bars and markets. Kisumu, Siaya, Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii and Nyamira counties will share 54,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in the first phase of the roll-out.
