KEY POINTS

Teachers employed by the Teachers Services Commission TSC, have till 23rd August 2021 to get vaccinated or will have their salary stopped.

Teachers employed by the Teachers Services Commission TSC, have till 23rd August 2021 to get vaccinated or will have their salary stopped. Consequently, all teachers are expected to urgently receive two doses of the Covid 19 vaccine

In a circular released on 16th August 2021, TSC ordered for immediate vaccination of all teachers by Monday 23rd August 2021.

This comes after TSC released a report that showed only 178,734 have been vaccinated since the exercise was launched.

“Following the upsurge currently being witnessed in the (Covid-19) positivity rate and increasing numbers of Covid 19 infections across the country, it is imperative that you mop up teachers and officers under your respective jurisdiction to get vaccinated,” TSC Boss, Dr. Nancy Macharia, says

The government has observed that most public servants; including teachers, have deliberately avoided getting vaccinated. The government now says disciplinary action will be taken against the defiant public servants and teachers.

According to TSC, Teachers who will fail to heed the TSC directive would be guilty of committing a punishable offense referred to as insubordination.

This is as a result of failure to obey official or instructions from supervisors e.g., Commission Secretary, Heads of Institution, County Directors, and Sub-County Directors.

Consequently, the Commission has threatened to interdict teachers who would have failed to be vaccinated by elapse of the given deadline

TSC report says that 110,342 teachers have received full dose and its target all 330,674 teachers on TSC payroll.

Consequently, the Commission has threatened to interdict teachers who would have failed to be vaccinated by elapse of the given deadline.

“We are here therefore to urge all our teachers who got the first dose to take advantage of the ongoing second dose vaccination campaign to gain full immunization.” She says.
