The Health ministry has postponed polio vaccination in Nairobi county because vaccine shipments have been delayed

The drive was to start on Saturday in Nairobi and a number of other counties. It was not clear if shipments to other countries have also been delayed.

The Nairobi campaign will take place from July 20 to 24.

The earliest the vaccines will be delivered in the county will be on July 15, a notice from the ministry to the county said.

“We had planned a door-to-door campaign and also visits to public places but we shall embark on this immediately the vaccines are here,” county Health executive Mohammed Dagane said.
