The County Government of Wajir, through the Department of Livestock and Veterinary Services, is conducting a vital livestock vaccination campaign targeting Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in sheep and goats and Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in goats.

This initiative is supported by the British Red Cross through the Kenya Red Cross Society and is being implemented in partnership with the National Government under the E-Voucher Livestock Vaccination Programme, supported by the Food Systems Resilience Project (FSRP) as a strategic livestock disease control intervention.

Over the next ten days, the department aims to vaccinate 200,000 sheep and goats and 50,000 cattle across all six sub-counties. In addition to vaccination, the campaign will include mass deworming and supportive treatment for sick and weak animals.

Under the E-Voucher Vaccination Programme, the FMD vaccine will be offered at a subsidized cost of KSh 50 per head of cattle, while the PPR vaccine will cost KSh 3 per sheep or goat. All other vaccines and treatment drugs will be provided free of charge.

This effort reflects the department’s commitment not only to addressing immediate livestock health challenges but also to strengthening resilience, improving productivity, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for livestock keepers across Wajir County.

The Wajir Regional Referral Laboratory has successfully achieved reaccreditation under the ISO 15189:2022 international standards, with certification valid until 2028.

The laboratory began its quality improvement journey in 2012 through the SLIPTA (Stepwise Laboratory Quality Improvement Process Towards Accreditation) programme, starting from a zero-star rating. Through the dedication of its staff, continuous mentorship and strong support from the County Government of Wajir and hospital management, the laboratory steadily improved and attained this significant milestone.

ISO 15189:2022 is an internationally recognized standard that confirms a medical laboratory’s technical competence and its ability to operate a quality management system that meets global requirements for patient testing and laboratory services. This accreditation demonstrates the laboratory’s commitment to quality, accuracy, patient safety, and continuous improvement in healthcare service delivery.

This achievement reflects the collective efforts, resilience and commitment of the laboratory team, hospital leadership, partners and the County Government in strengthening laboratory systems and ensuring the delivery of reliable, high-quality and internationally recognized diagnostic services to the people of Wajir and beyond.
