Speaking on Wednesday, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe announced that the country may miss out on the second round jabs due to a global shortage.

CS Kagwe explained that the rise in demand from India is likely to affect the supply of the AstraZeneca vaccine in Kenya.

He explained that the country was considering purchasing other available vaccines such as the Pfeizer-BioNTech vaccine.
