AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> About one per cent of Kenya\u2019s adult population has been fully vaccinated, the Ministry of Health says.<\/p>\n

In today’s Covid-19 update, CS Mutahi Kagwe said the Ministry had administered a total of 1,005,509 vaccines across the country. This is out of a total population of over 50 million.<\/p>\n

Of these, he explained that the total first doses are 978,127 while the second doses are 27,382. This means that only 27,382 people have received the full Covid-19 vaccine dose.<\/p>\n

The Ministry said 18 people are reported to have succumbed to Covid-19, bringing the country\u2019s total fatalities to 3,326. However, the deaths did not occur in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are late deaths reported after conducting facility record audits on diverse dates in the month of April and May,\u201d Health CS Mutahi Kagwe said.<\/p>\n

This even as 433 more people tested positive for the virus from a sample size of 4,479 tested in the last 24 hours. The positivity rate recorded today is at 9.7 per cent.<\/p>\n

This brings the total confirmed positive cases to 173,072 and cumulative tests so far conducted 1,840,889.<\/p>\n

Kisumu County is still leading in the number of new infections after recording 129 more cases today.<\/p>\n

Nairobi had 84 cases, Siaya 24, Mombasa 24, Trans Nzoia 23, Kericho 21 as the other counties posted less than 20 new cases each.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, 395 patients have recovered from the disease, 262 from the home-based care and isolation program while 133 are from various health facilities across the country.<\/p>\n

Total recoveries now stand at 118,621 of whom 86,154 are from home-based care and isolation program, while 32,467 are from various health facilities across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
