AstraZeneca is the cheapest vaccine to inoculate at least 70 percent of Kenya’s population against the Covid-19 disease, with a bill of about Sh45 billion, an economic think tank has said.
The Institute of Economy Affairs (IEA) said this is the least budget compared to Johnson & Johnson vaccine that would cost Sh77 billion, Pfizer (Sh139 billion) and Moderna (Sh189 billion) for the same population size. A mix of all the vaccines would cost Sh96 billion for the same population size.
