Kuppet joins Catholic Church in campaign against vaccine

A teachers’ union has now joined the Catholic Church in asking Kenyan women not to take the tetanus vaccination spearheaded by the government. The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education (Kuppet) wants the government to investigate concerns raised by the Catholic Church.

Kuppet Secretary-General Akello Misori said the government should not interfere with the lives of Kenyans through experimentation. He was speaking at the burial of the late Patricia Onoka Ombuor in Homa Bay County. Mr Misori said that as teachers, they viewed the move by the government as a threat to their jobs.
