Kenya is set to receive 1.7 million doses of Pfizer vaccine from the US government. This is after Kenya was listed among the countries to receive part of the 55 million Covid jabs from the US which will be shared globally. President Joe Biden’s administration announced, the distribution list for 55 million of the 80 million doses of America’s own vaccine supply, that Biden pledged to allocate by the end of June in service of ending the pandemic globally. About 14 million doses or 25 per cent of the 55 million vaccines are to be shared with regional priorities and other recipients including Kenya. Last week the government received 182,400 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine donated by the Government of France to the Covax facility and transported by UNICEF.
