    "content": "distribution of certain vaccines due to alleged side effects such as blood clots and infertility. So far, a total of 1.74 million doses of both the first and second dose have been distributed countrywide including to the military and more than 456,000 Kenyans have been vaccinated. The Cabinet Secretary for Health directed that priority be given to those who are over 60 years and the vulnerable people in the society. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is my hope that the Ministry of Health is continuously doing research to understand the vaccine and is fully satisfied with its effectiveness and safety before allowing the exposure to the general public. Besides, these funds need to be released for research on the different variants of the virus so as to create more awareness to the public with regard to symptoms and ways of managing it especially because now a new and deadly variant (Delta) which has been projected to be more deadly than the others have found its way into Kenya ravaging our counties, Vihiga included. The President, in his last State Address, once again emphasized the country’s COVID-19 measures. However, Kenyans seem ignorant to have become lax to the protocols and regulations set. We have lowered our guard and majority of us have thrown all caution to the wind. It is time to urge Kenyans to return to the basics by strictly adhering to the containment measures that the Ministry of Health has set and for them to get vaccinated. New protocols with high consideration to the 2022 campaigns and elections need to be set or the existing ones to be strongly enforced in order to help Kenyans deal with this monstrous virus. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
