In Kenya, the vaccination of animals has caused controversy among the authorities who do not want the vaccination to be done, and have raised concerns with farmers who do not believe that their animals are vaccinated, saying that it will affect them.

President Ruto said that the animal vaccination program should be carried out
President William Ruto has announced that the animal vaccination program should start in January next year 2025, as planned regardless of the claims of the authorities who do not support it.
President Ruto said that protecting these animals, including cows, goats and others, will help the breeders to develop further because they will have healthy animals, and their meat and skins will meet the standards required in the international market, which will be sold outside the country. . .
President Ruto asked those politicians who do not support animal vaccinations to stop spreading propaganda, among the people to stop vaccinating their animals because vaccination is important.
President William Ruto said, “Vaccines are also given to humans. If vaccines are not harmful to human health, why should vaccines be a problem for animals”?
The BBC newspaper reported that apart from those politicians who are spreading propaganda to prevent farmers from vaccinating their animals, there are also farmers’ communities, who show that they do not want these animal vaccines.
The borzoi say that the reason they don’t want to immunize their animals is because they have not been informed that the program is there to prepare, and they say that the Kenyan government should first take enough time to provide detailed information about the program.
In general, Kenya is planning to vaccinate about 20 cows to be immunized against a disease that often affects cows, causing them to become fat and unable to graze. About 50 million goats and sheep will also be protected under the program across the country.
