The Ministry of Health projects that it will take two years before majority of Kenyans access the Covid-19 vaccines. This is a shocking revelation. It is also a reminder that we are far from being able to return to the pre-pandemic “normal.”
Without a high rate of vaccination and adequate mitigation strategies, cases will likely keep rising. An unchecked spread of the virus could result in new (and perhaps more lethal) strains of the virus. For all intents and purposes, 2021 may not be that different from 2020.
