The Ministry of Health has received over 8 million childhood vaccine doses amid stockouts that disrupted immunisation schedules nationwide.
They include 1,209,500 doses of Measles Rubella Vaccine, 3,032,000 doses of OPV, 1,000,000 doses of Tetanus-Diptheria Vaccine and 3,129,000 doses of BCG vaccine. He noted that MoH had acquired additional refrigeration capacity to transport the vaccines to nine regional vaccine hubs for last-mile distribution.
"As the vaccines begin arriving at our facilities, we call on our healthcare workers to collaborate with community health teams to ensure all children who missed vaccinations return to the facilities and catch up on their immunization schedule," Kimtai stated.
