President Uhuru Kenyatta has said he will fight ‘day and night’ to ensure developing countries are treated equally on vaccine equity. Speaking to Sky News on Thursday, Uhuru said vaccine nationalism "has really shown how unequal the world is”. The nine million shots are the first tranche of the UK's commitment to share 100 million vaccine doses internationally by next June. Last week, the US president also said 1.7 million doses of Pfizer vaccine donated by the US are expected to arrive in the country in August. Kenya is among countries that have been hit by vaccine shortage after the Indian government halted vaccine exports due to satisfy domestic demand.
