The country received 1.02 doses of Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine on Tuesday last week. The 1.02 million doses are among the first batch of the 4.1million doses out of the 24 million expected doses. In Nakuru County that has recorded a positivity rate of 9.3 per cent that translates to 4, 961 infections and 102 deaths, the vaccination of frontline workers started yesterday at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital (PGH). The County Chief Nursing Officer, Virginia Njenga, said vaccination of the Oxford/AstraZeneca exercise kicked off smoothly as they plan to vaccinate about 11,000 people.
