Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has warned Kenyans against paying facilities to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Speaking during a presser the CS explained that vaccines are free in Kenya and any health facility advertising and charging the public will be shut down.
He however cautioned Kenyans to be careful noting that some of these facilities are doing the public only to vaccinate them with water.
"Some facilities have been illegally vaccinating people for Covid-19 and charging them for that vaccination and I would like to tell Kenyans that such exercises that are going on are illegal and chances are you are not being vaccinated with proper vaccines," CS Kagwe said.
"There is every possibility that you are even being vaccinated with water and paying for it and therefore I would like to warn Kenyans first vaccination in Kenya is free nobody should be charging you for it," he added.
