The Treasury has failed to allocate Sh4.5 billion needed for the next phase of Covid-19 vaccination, raising the risk that targeted Kenyans could miss out on the jabs against the infectious virus.

The Parliamentary Budget and Appropriation committee yesterday disclosed that the allocation was not included in the spending plan starting July, when the second phase of the inoculation is expected to kick off.
