The Kakamega government has decentralised administration of the Covid-19 vaccine to subcounties to reach more residents. Facilities to offer the Covid-19 vaccine in the county include Kakamega County General Hospital, Butere County Hospital, Malava Subcounty Hospital and Likuyani Subcounty Hospital. Others are Navakholo Subcounty Hospital, Shins Health Centre and Khwisero Health Centre. Two weeks ago Deputy Governor Philip Kutima decried the low uptake of the vaccine among frontline healthcare workers in the county. The first phase of the vaccination targeted health workers, security personnel and teachers in all the 47 counties.
