Kenya Formally Joins International Vaccine Institute as a Member State
Kenya has successfully joined the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) as a Member State and President William Ruto said it will help Kenyans achieve self-reliance on vaccine production.
This happened on the sidelines of the just-concluded Korea-Africa Summit in Seoul where the ceremony was held to mark the country’s ratification of the IVI treaty at the agency’s headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.
During the ceremony, President Ruto raised the Kenyan flag and then the National Anthem was played.
What it means is that there will be an increased vaccine availability to enhance the delivery of Kenya’s primary healthcare.
