"content": "its immunisation programme. Under the GAVI co-financing framework, the Government of Kenya is required to make an annual financial contribution towards vaccine procurement. This agreement is based on a shared responsibility model and continued compliance is essential for Kenya to remain eligible for this support. In the current financial year, the total amount required by the Government to meet the country’s vaccine procurement is Ksh4.2 billion: Ksh2 billion for procurement of traditional vaccines, Ksh1.62 billion for GAVI co-financing (due in June 2025) and Ksh585 million for replacement vaccine independent initiative procurement through UNICEF. So, as of now, we have adequate vaccines. To address the outstanding shortfall, the Ministry secured an additional Ksh930 million through the Supplementary Budget III, earmarked specifically to cover the Ksh620 million balance pending. We need to put some money for GAVI to support us, and that amount has been made available. The Ministry continues to actively engage the National Treasury to ensure timely release of funds and full compliance with our financial obligations under the co-financing agreement. These efforts are particularly focused on meeting the June 2025 deadline to avoid any further disruption. The disruption arose because we did not meet the deadline. The allocation of the money will now enable us to meet the deadline and forestall any shortages. There is a long-term strategy put in place to strengthen national vaccine supply chain so as to build resilience against future disruptions in vaccine availability. The Ministry is looking for increased budget allocations, ring-fencing vaccine funds against other budget provisions and timely disbursement of funds. The most difficult challenge has been timely disbursement of funds. The Ministry wishes to assure the House and the Kenyan public that the Government, through the Ministry of Health, is fully committed to making every effort to prevent stock-outs and sustain high levels of immunisation coverage. Our goal is clear: no child or eligible person should ever miss a life-saving vaccine due to preventable supply-chain failures. We will continue to work closely with partners, including the UNICEF, GAVI and county governments, to ensure that long-term plans translate into consistent availability of vaccines across all regions of the country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Yes, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Chairman and yourself for your intervention on this matter. The only issue I have is that before 11th June when the vaccines were made available, children were born in various hospitals, including in my own constituency, but they did not receive the vaccines. I expected the Chairman to give guidance to Kenyans. What should happen to the children who missed their vaccinations? Some mothers took their children back home without getting the vaccines. Getting those children back to hospitals in very marginalised areas might be an issue. Perhaps, the Ministry could give guidelines or advisories to parents with children born in May and June."

So, that children who were born in hospitals but missed BCG vaccine can go back and get it."
