A modest proposal re: private sector led Covid19 vaccination initiative. A short thread 1/5
This is a challenge to our business leaders. I am challenging you to partner with private health care providers such as @AKUHNairobi, mission hospitals @meds_kenya to mount a private vaccination initiative, now that GoK has opened the door with the Sputnik
@AKUHNairobi @meds_kenya @KEPSA_Kenya members should back the initiative by undertaking to pay for all their employees. It should be possible to deliver vaccines at Sh3,000 or less. Notably, Johnson&Johnson has offered Africa 400m doses at $10 from Q3 this year.
@AKUHNairobi @meds_kenya @KEPSA_KENYA At such price, there are many people who will be able to pay, not just for themselves, but also for their extended family who cannot afford. Even small businesses will find it worthwhile to finance their employees so as to stay open.
@AKUHNairobi @meds_kenya @KEPSA_KENYA We can achieve 60 % coverage by this time next year, but not by sitting back and watching GoK fumble. This is the time for leadership. It is good for business, good for society. Thank you. 5/5
