A private company that imported the Sputnik V vaccine to Kenya is seeking to re-export it back to Russia following government’s ban on importation, distribution and administration of Covid-19 vaccines by private entities.
Deputy Director of the country’s drug authority, Dominic Kariuki says the firm has written to them seeking to re-export the vaccine.
Addressing members of the Kenya senate’s health committee Kariuki said the company is now in the process of officially applying with a letter of intent already been given to the pharmacy and poisons board
Chief Administrative Secretary of Health Rashid Aman said those who had received the first dose of the vaccine would still get their second dose after three weeks.
Aman however said this would only apply to the 527 people who were vaccinated with that vaccine at the time of the ban as the World Health Organization recommends that vaccines should not be mixed.
