Summary:

Kenya was hit by a third COVID-19 wave in March and April 2021, with renewed containment measures eased in May as the case count moderated. In mid-May, Kenya’s COVID-19 vaccination program faced serious challenges on delays in international vaccine shipments. The authorities are redoubling their efforts to mobilize support and now aim to inoculate 60 percent of the population by mid-2023. General elections are planned for August 2022.
