Kenya will kickstart its vaccine campaign next week, BBC reports, with health-care workers, some essential workers and vulnerable groups vaccinated first. 

Though it is unconfirmed which vaccine Kenya will be receiving, the health ministry reportedly said it would be acquiring the AstraZeneca vaccine and approved its use earlier this month.
