Nearly half of the elderly have received Covid-19 jab, MoH says
Ms Mary Kusa, 63, receives a Covid-19 shot at the deputy county commissioner’s office in Dagoretti, Nairobi County, on January 3, 2022 during the launch of mass vaccination drive.
This follows a spirited campaign between the ministries of Health and Interior and community health volunteers.
The Ministry of Health on December 10 last year introduced a vaccination drive targeting the elderly.
Almost half of the nation’s senior citizens have been vaccinated against Covid-19, marking a milestone in the war against the deadly virus, latest data from the Ministry of Health shows.
This follows a spirited campaign between the ministries of Health and Interior in partnership with community health volunteers (CHVs) to mobilise those aged 58 and above over the past one year.
