Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has said that the Kenya Biovax vaccine manufacturing plant will be installed at a cost of Sh2.5 billion. We will use what we have so that the money we have Sh2.5 billion will be used for installation of the equipment alone," Kagwe said. He said Kenya Biovax is the government organisation that will be involved with the manufacturing of vaccines. "Vaccine manufacturing is not a money-spinner itself so it is necessary for the government to do this. Kagwe noted that the government is working to ensure local manufacturing of pharmaceuticals is something that is being done in Kenya.
