Last night was a busy night for Kenyans. The aircraft carrying 1.02 million doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi. The arrival sent waves across the country and there have been non-stop discussions about the COVID-19 Vaccine in Kenya ever since.
Kenyans on Twitter React
All seems and sounds to be okay, however, as we know, Kenyans must be part and parcel of the entire process. Ever since the landing, Kenyans on Twitter have been commenting on the entirety of the process and it’s way too entertaining to pass up.
Many are focusing on different aspects of the COVAX process. For instance, many are wondering if we will even get the actual vaccine.

Others are still in doubt of the whole process relating it to the last transaction we had with the donations from Jack Ma.
I am not sure why I am a bit apprehensive; just watching the TV…. the same lot that received the Jack Ma donations are at hand to receive the vaccines. Is anyone thinking what I am thinking….

Most people do not think we will even see the vaccine suggesting it will get lost in transit.

The last of the bunch is probably my favourite. The group with suggestions. They know that it will probably be difficult to administer the COVID-19 vaccine in Kenya to all those who require it so they have a pretty straight forward solution.
Govt ikidai Wakenya wapate hio vaccine wanafaa waongee na EABL vizuri, they find a way of mixing the vaccine with alcohol
