The University of Nairobi Director of Corporate Affairs Mr. John Orindi has advised that those among the University Community (Students, Staff/Dependents above 18 years) and who have not been vaccinated, should at the earliest voluntarily avail themselves for the vaccination programme that has been running in the University Health Services. This will curb the spread of COVID-19, especially the Delta variant that is spreading at a very fast rate. That the cycle and transmission of the Novel CoronaVirus and hence the COVID-19 pandemic is currently on the fourth wave.
Mr. Orindi further says that there are indicators that persons who are yet to be vaccinated are more likely to suffer severe disease associated with medical complications while it has been found that those who have been vaccinated are likely to experience mild disease that may not require hospitalization.
Further, he advises and encourages all persons to strictly adhere to the COVID-19 protocols as has been issued by the Ministry of Health at all times.
