So far over 4,000 athletes and officials have received the Covid-19 jab since the vaccination program for Kenyan athletes began, Cabinet Secretary for Sports, culture and heritage Amina Mohamed said on Monday.

The vaccinations started at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, two weeks after President Uhuru Kenyatta suspended all sporting activities in the country as part of efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.
