Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has said most frontline health workers failed to show up for the Covid-19 jab and it will be offered to other willing citizens. Joho's administration aims to vaccinate at least 4,500 health workers, including nurses, doctors, clinical officers, mortuary attendants and others. However, by the end of second week, only 800 health workers had been vaccinated. “Initially, when Kenya was buying these vaccines, we were told they were meant for frontline workers, doctors, teachers, security officers. Speaking during a joint press conference by the Mombasa Emergency Response Committee on Covid-19, Joho said the third wave of Covid-19 is very lethal.
