Kisumu county administration will spend Sh2.6 million in a three weeks long mass vaccination of cows to contain an Anthrax outbreak.

A week ago, the county officials announced the outbreak after one person died and four were hospitalised at the Kisumu County Referral Hospital for consuming meat from a dead cow believed to have been infected by the disease.
