Ministry of Health has blocked its workers who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 from accessing their offices.
Director-General of Health Services, Dr Henry Mwebesa in a notice dated October 18, said the position was reached in a special meeting with the aim of promoting vaccination as the country races to inoculate 21.9 million people to fully reopen the economy.
“During the Covid-19 strategic committee meeting held on the 5th October 2021, it was resolved that staff who are not fully vaccinated must not access the Ministry premises,” the notice reads in part.
It continues: “Accordingly, all staff must get vaccinated and shall show results whenever coming to work. This takes immediate effect.”
This development comes a few days after the National Medical Stores (NMS) announced that it had banned all staff and visitors who are not vaccinated from accessing their offices to curb the spread of Covid-19.
