No child will receive the much anticipated Covid-19 vaccine once it is available in the country, the Health Ministry has said. She further revealed that the country has ordered 24 million vaccine doses. The doses, the Health Ministry says, will be distributed first to the frontline workers and those in the vulnerable bracket. Also categorised as frontline workers are teachers, meaning they will also be part of those receiving vaccines once they are available. Last month, Acting Director-General Public Health Patrick Amoth said the government will start administering the Covid-19 vaccine in the first quarter of 2021.
