Kenya is among countries that will be required to improve cold chain networks to meet the storage demands of a Covid-19 vaccine. Kenya’s vaccine supply chain is fragmented, with clinics and hospitals mostly organising their own collections. The fear with Covid-19 vaccine is that being in high demand, theft is likely to be reported. If people can figure out how to transport ice cream, they can transport vaccines,” a researcher at Johns Hopkins University Tinglong Dai said. There will be a need to modify existing cold chain networks to align them with efficient immunisation approaches.
