Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has become the second Governor from the Coast region to take the coronavirus vaccination.
Joho was vaccinated on Tuesday afternoon at the Coast general hospital just few days after his Taita Taveta counterpart Granton Samboja taking the jab at his Mwakishima home in Wundanyi.
Joho urged health workers and frontline officers to take the jab in order to control further spread of the virus currently on it's third wave.
On monday, Joho decried the slow uptake of the Covid-19 vaccine saying only 1200 individuals had received the jab, including five police officers and one journalist
Joho noted "We willl have no any other choice but to allow communities to come forward and be vaccinated if the health care workers, teachers and police continue shying away from being vaccinated. The good news is that we have a bigger number of communities coming out to ask for the vaccines".
The Governor also announced that he was taking a one month leave from political activities.
