In a special collaboration, the Kilimani Project Foundation and Up/Root talk with Dr. Githinji Gitahi about the rollout of the vaccine on the continent. Dr. Githai answered questions from the community and addresses the science - and rumors - that remain. This is the episode to share with all the aunties, cousins and grandparents who need information that speaks to our experience as African nationals! Dr. Gitahi sheds light on how the vaccine was developed, how it works, if there are long-term effects -- and if the supply will be enough to meet demand.
