The Covid pandemic hit the world in a major way with millions of lives lost and more hospitalized with huge medical bills that they had to settle once they were okay and out of bed.

A vaccine was developed to combat the devastating effects of the virus that would attack people with underlying conditions and in most cases would be fatal.
The vaccine has been dished out to billions of people across the world for free and in Kenya, it is no different with the Ministry of Health going about giving the shots.
However, since the exercise is voluntary, people have been reluctant to take the vaccine and this has led to expiry of hundreds of thousands of doses.
This afternoon, according to The Daily Nation Newspaper, 800,000 Astrazeneca vaccines have expired.
Three counties lead in the high number of expired vaccines and these are, Kajiado, Nakuru and Busia according to the Health CAS Mercy Mwangangi.
