2021 KCSE Candidates To Be Prioritized For Covid-19 Jab Before Joining Universities
Students who sat their KCSE exam in 2022 and are currently waiting to join institutions of higher learning will be prioritised for Covid-19 vaccinations.
This is even as the deadline to submit their course choices lapsed on Thursday, after an opening for 14 days.
Health PS Susan Mochache said the students will be prioritised due to their out-of-school interactions.
“In particular, we are keen to reach the more than 800,000 young people who completed their KCSE in April 2022 and have now joined the community,” Mochache said.
