CAS Mwangangi Reveals the “only issue” with Covid-19 Vaccine as 4000 are Vaccinated
As of Wednesday, March 10, approximately 4,000 Kenyans had been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Health CAS Mercy Mwangangi made the revelation when she appeared before National Assembly Health Committee yesterday. She noted that no adverse effects from the vaccine had been recorded, with the only issue being some pain.
“The only issue is some pain at the injection point,” Mwangangi said.
The CAS was, however, at pains to explain what would happen in case of a negative reaction to the vaccine. Vihiga MP Beatrice Adagala had sought to know who would take responsibility in such an instance.
