Kenya is facing a shortage of BCG and polio vaccines that has gone on for months, leaving parents frustrated and desperate.
With the immunisations unavailable in many health facilities, some parents have turned to social media to share their struggles, many saying they have been forced to travel across counties to access the vaccines. "Mniambie mahali nitatoa BCG vaccines" (Tell me where to get the BCG vaccine), wrote X user Aslan Kenga.
Responses flooded in, with some parents suggesting clinics in other counties, while others voiced anger at what they viewed as government neglect. ''Is this how the country should operate?
So renovating the statehouse has higher priority than life-saving vaccines?'' Joel Karimu posed.
