Kenya should develop and produce its own Covid-19 vaccine. She said this as five cases of the Indian Covid-19 variant were reported in the country just days after the same variant was reported in Uganda. In March, the country received its first batch of one million AstraZeneca vaccine doses from India. India has temporarily halted export of the vaccine as it is ravaged by a new variant and demand is high. “It is unfortunate we got the Indian Covid-19 strain in the country and I am appealing to the government to start working on its own vaccine,” she said.
