Sixty per cent of the population is about 30 million Kenyans.
Amref chief executive Githinji Gitahi warned of a third wave of the virus, especially during the festive season.
Kenya will need at least Sh30 billion to vaccinate 60 per cent of its population, the proportion estimated to ensure proper immunity against Covid-19.
Amref chief executive Githinji Gitahi yesterday said an average dose of a vaccine, on the lowest cadre would roughly go for Sh500. For proper immunity, the population will need to take the dose two times in 28 days.
