Kenya will exhaust its supply of Covid-19 vaccines as early as next week, the chairman of the country's vaccination taskforce has told the BBC.

Dr Willis Akhwale said Kenya had received more than one million doses out of 3.5 million AstraZeneca vaccines that it requested from Covax.

"We have vaccinated close to 940,000 Kenyans, so we don't have more doses remaining," he said.

This means less than 2% of Kenyans have received their first jab.

Health authorities had expected to begin administering the second dose from the first week of June but this timeline can no longer be guaranteed.

India's suspension of vaccine export as it deals with an exponential surge of cases has affected vaccine campaigns around the world, especially in countries depending on the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Dr Akhwale said Kenya had ordered 30 million doses from Johnson & Johnson which are expected to be delivered in August.

Experts are warning that insufficient vaccination in African countries may lead to mutations of coronavirus, creating a crisis similar to India's.

Dr Akhwale said that equitable distribution of vaccines "must happen".

"'You are not safe until I am safe' must be our guiding principle," he added.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued new guidance saying that expired Covid-19 vaccines should now be destroyed.

This contradicts earlier advice from the head of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr John Nkengasong.

Last month, he urged countries to use out-of-date vaccines saying that they were safe up until 13 July.

A number of African countries have not been able to use up all their supplies and have been waiting fo guidance.

The WHO has said that it regrets having to give this advice but adds that there is just not enough data to know if the expired doses would be safe.

That’s despite the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer, the Serum Institute of India, saying the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab can be used nine months after its stated expiry date.

But as Covid-19 vaccines have only been in widespread use for a few months it is not surprising that there has been conflicting advice.

South Sudan failed to use more than 50,000 doses before their expiration date in mid-April.

Malawi will destroy its stockpile of nearly 20,000 vials tomorrow.

Cumbria's director of public health has spent months encouraging people to take up the offer of a Covid-19 vaccine - and today he received his first jab.

Colin Cox, who lives across the Scottish border, was vaccinated in Canonbie.

He said: “Vaccination is absolutely critical to getting us out of this pandemic, particularly as we are now seeing evidence of the spread of new variants.

"The next step of easing lockdown is also reliant on the continued success of the vaccination programme, so it’s crucial for people to get vaccinated in order to give government the confidence to take that next step in June."

Latest data for Cumbria shows 315,000 people have received their first vaccine dose, with 185,000 receiving both doses.
